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 "Supporting Focus, Comfort, and Cleanliness: Fidget Toys, Snacks, and Wipes Drive" aims to enhance our students' learning environment in meaningful ways. Fidget toys offer sensory support, helping students maintain focus and manage stress, while snacks ensure they stay nourished and energized throughout the day. Additionally, cleaning wipes promote hygiene and cleanliness, crucial for a healthy and conducive learning space.

Our goal for this project is to create a comfortable and supportive atmosphere where students can thrive academically and emotionally.

What makes our students special is their resilience, curiosity, and diversity of talents. With your support, we aim to provide them with the tools they need to succeed and flourish in their educational journey. Thank you for considering our cause and helping us create a nurturing environment for our students.
