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

Please help provide my students with an experience they will never forget. These materials will provide my students with the resources to operate a carnival for other students. My students have learned all about wants, needs, supply, demands, producers, consumers, spending and saving. My students are working hard to create their booths that they will run and operate during the carnival. Some examples of the booths they have created are snack concession stand, balloon pop, face painting,, fGo Fishing, artistic arts, and many more. They are so excited about this opportunity to run their own businesses. We need your help to achieve their dreams of being an entrepreneur. These materials will be their prizes and concession stand resources. Please help these future business owners achieve their dreams of being financially sound with their learning. Thank you for helping build our future “Fortune 500”.
