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 finding ways to bring the Class of 2026 together to bond and gain positive interactions amongst their peers. I am starting a lunch group to let the students come and meet with a counselor while also creating charm bracelets and necklaces.

Charm together and stay together.

We promote positive interactions in and out of the classroom settings. We are building ways to give the students healthy outlets in their school community. Interacting, creating and exploring ideas around good habits. With these beads and other materials I will give them an outlet and chance to express their creativity.
