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

Being bullied because I'm not combing my hair or not able to brush my teeth or putting on deodorant is not comfortable for students. The upper grades are going through puberty and I want to show them how to take care of themselves, and give them the products they need to do so. I feel the deodorant or feminine hygiene products would help give them a boost to their confidence. All our students are special in their own way. If the school can provide comfort for them, then we made a child's day. We are their second family and they are important.
