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

Help us keep our classroom water cooler stocked with 5-gallon water bottles, so our students can stay hydrated throughout the day!

Access to fresh drinking water is essential for our students' health, focus, and energy, especially during long school days and after physical activities.

Many of our students come from low-income families and may not have consistent access to clean water at home.

By providing 5-gallon water bottles, we can ensure that our school will have the hydration they need to remain engaged and successful in their learning. Your support will directly impact their well-being and academic performance!
