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

We have a uniform policy at school which our kids are pretty good about following. Our classrooms can be freezing or sweltering at any time of year and its hard for the kids to dress appropriately for each of the 4 classes they will be in everyday. We need these sweatshirts so that kids can wear them at school and keep them in their lockers so they will always have something warm. This will allow them to focus on academics and social emotional growth without having to worry about being cold or being out of uniform.
