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 students are at-risk youth from diverse backgrounds who are transitioning from middle school into their first year of high school. With challenging education expectations, we want to create activities that engage the social and emotional values of becoming a teenager.

Our project consists of not only academically supporting our students but also allowing them to embrace their creativity fearlessly.

Our students are still learning to develop their own identity and that is tough as a teen. We also use these activities to reward students for their academic success.

Grades 9-12
