Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our project aims to establish a calming corner within our high school to support students' emotional well-being and enhance their learning environment. We seek funding for essential items: a folding chair, string lights, calming pillows, and a positive affirmations poster.

The specific items requested will significantly impact students’ learning by providing a dedicated area for stress relief and mental relaxation.

Research indicates that emotional well-being directly influences cognitive function and academic success. A calming space allows students to manage stress, which in turn fosters better concentration and a more positive learning experience.

This space will serve as a sanctuary for students to de-escalate and gain renewed focus, supporting their academic and personal growth.
