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

Support our students as they explore the fascinating world of tea! Your donation will help fund the final step of our sensational tea experience, the making and drinking of tea from our gardens.

Help fund engaging tea experiences.

Students will harvest, dry and bag the plants from our garden as well as learn about tea etiquette, and appreciate the diverse flavors, aromas, and benefits of different teas.

We have brought our school garden back to life and have planted a variety of native plants that are used in many different cultures for both medicinal and ceremonial tea experiences.
