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 Transitional Kindergarten (TK) classroom, full of vibrant 4- and 5-year-olds, currently has no trikes for outdoor play. We'd love your support to provide four trikes for our students to enjoy during their outside time!

Trikes are more than just fun—they're tools for learning and growth.

They help children develop crucial gross motor skills, improve hand-eye coordination, and engage in active play. They also teach essential social skills like turn-taking, understanding rules, and practicing safety and traffic awareness—all while having a great time outdoors.

Your support will help our students channel their high energy into meaningful play, enhancing their outdoor experience and enriching their development.

Please join us in making this dream a reality for our TK classroom. Together, we can give these young learners the tools they need to grow, learn, and thrive!
