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

I am seeking assistance in providing my students with a water cooler for our classroom. Having access to cool, refreshing water throughout the school day is essential for keeping students hydrated and focused on their learning. A water cooler would not only promote healthy hydration habits but also create a welcoming and comfortable classroom environment.

By having this resource available, students can easily access water during breaks, helping to improve their concentration and overall well-being.

Your support in securing a water cooler would greatly benefit my students, ensuring they stay refreshed and engaged as they participate in their educational activities.
