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

I am the School Counselor at my school. I do social-emotional groups and individual counseling. I also do many activities at school and events in the yard. Our kids are from all over Los Angeles and come to Marina Del Rey to obtain an education. I love to entice them to come to school by having many yard activities and giving away prizes. I need the printmaker to make kindness cool shirts and character shirts that we can give to them. I need the poster maker to promote events. Thank you.
