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

My wonderful fourth-grade class is gearing up for a busy and exciting spring and summer filled with outdoor activities, field trips, and fun in the sun! To ensure our students stay safe, comfortable, and protected during these adventures, I'm reaching out to our generous community for support.

We need several items to help our students stay protected from the sun and heat, maintain hygiene during outdoor activities, and comfortably carry their belongings.

Specifically, we are looking for towels for potential water activities and general clean-up after outdoor play, hats to shield our students from the sun's rays, drawstring bags for carrying their items during field trips and outdoor activities, and sunscreen to protect their skin from harmful UV rays. Lastly, we would also appreciate beach balls for added fun!
