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

Sharing comfort and caring not germs!

In our preschool classroom, little hands are always busy exploring, creating, and learning.

But with all this activity comes the spread of germs! Young children are especially vulnerable to illness, and keeping our classroom clean is essential to ensuring a safe and healthy learning environment. Young students also need warm relaxing places to rest when they are not feeling their best either physically or emotionally. A little comfort goes a long way in preparing to learn.

To prevent the spread of germs, we need essential cleaning supplies like disinfectant wipes, tissues, and gloves. These items will help us keep surfaces, toys, and hands clean, reducing sick days and keeping our little learners engaged in fun and meaningful learning experiences. New bean bag chairs and blankets will give students a relaxing place to take a break when not feeling their best either physically or emotionally.

A clean classroom means fewer sick days and more learning days! With your support, we can ensure that our preschoolers have a safe and healthy space to explore, play, and grow. Thank you for helping us stop the spread of germs and keep our little learners happy and thriving!
