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

We are back at school, and my 5th graders need water to keep them hydrated and focused during learning and playing sessions. With your support, my students will have their personal reusable stainless steel water flasks to keep them hydrated during their lessons. Your support will allow my students to minimize the use of one-time plastic water bottles. I teach fifth graders who need to maintain their focus while learning, and these water bottles will give them the necessary hydration readily available to them, thus minimizing the times they get to walk to the water fountains to sip water.
