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

This project supports an End-of-Unit Showcase and Wall of Fame to celebrate students' work as part of our journalism unit. Students will have interviewed community members in high-intrest career roles, capturing their stories and highlighting their  contributions to the school community. We are seeking donations of refreshments to host the event, where students will present their interview projects and foster school pride through storytelling and strengthening community connections

We are seeking donations of refreshments to host the event, which will include snacks and beverages for attendees.

These refreshments will help create a welcoming atmosphere, allowing students to present their interview projects while fostering school pride through storytelling and strengthening community connections.

The event will not only showcase their hard work but also encourage interaction among students, staff, and families, further building our school community.
