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

Many people are not fully aware of the amazing and special abilities that students with autism have. In this project, I want to create a comfortable and well simulating classroom environment so my students can fully express their awesome abilities and feel comfortable enough to learn and receive an amazing education.

In this classroom, many of the items used will be beneficial for fine motor skills and sensory functioning.

This is very helpful when it comes to having a stimulating environment where students can meet all of their educational and sensory needs.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
