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

Provide emotional support for students on our campus.

"Thrive Together" is a campaign dedicated to empowering students by providing them with essential social-emotional tools, engaging fidget toys, and nourishing snacks.

These resources create a supportive and inclusive school environment where students can thrive academically and emotionally. Even a small donation can supply a week’s worth of snacks or a toolkit for emotional well-being.

Your generosity helps foster confidence, connection, and concentration in students who need it most.

By donating, you can transform classrooms into spaces where every child feels supported and valued. Together, we can create lasting change for our future leaders!
