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

The winter season is coming in full force!

I have noticed that some of my students are not prepared for the colder temperature: many do not have hats and gloves and there are some who do not have winter coats so getting a new winter coat would be greatly appreciated by my students this year!

I want my students to not have to worry about how they're going to stay warm during recess or have to worry about asking their parents to get them warmer clothing. Thank you in advance for your help!
