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

In our 9-12 grade classroom, we're fostering creativity, mindfulness, and emotional well-being through a unique project: building LEGO flower sets. These colorful, hands-on activities offer our students a chance to relax, destress, and express themselves in a therapeutic way. With mental health challenges on the rise, especially in high school students, it's important to provide outlets that encourage calm and focus. Your donation will help us bring LEGO flowers into our classroom, allowing students to take a mental break, build something beautiful, and bloom in more ways than one. Together, we can support their mental health and help them grow stronger, one brick at a time!
