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

Through this project, I aim to provide a festive and inviting atmosphere that promotes both academic and social growth. By integrating cultural celebrations, hands-on activities, and bilingual materials, students will not only enhance their language skills but also connect with their peers and families. Furthermore, involving parents in these celebrations will strengthen their engagement with the school and create lasting memories for students.

The donations to this project will help encourage parents to visit their child's classroom throughout the school year, providing various opportunities for students to showcase their work and share what they have learned in class.

This engagement fosters a stronger connection between families and the school community, ultimately benefiting the students' educational experience. Your support will make a significant difference in promoting this vital interaction!
