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 seeking funding to provide incentive toys for students at our Title 1 elementary school, where many of our children face socioeconomic challenges that can impact their academic success. By offering small, tangible rewards in the form of age-appropriate, educational toys, we aim to create a positive reinforcement system that motivates students to engage more actively in their learning.

These toys will serve as both incentives for academic achievement and behavior improvement, fostering a sense of accomplishment and personal responsibility.

For our Title 1 students, who may not have access to such resources outside of school, these toys offer an opportunity to experience the joy of success and the satisfaction of earning something through effort. We believe that by introducing these incentives, we can not only improve classroom behavior but also boost self-esteem and help students develop a positive attitude toward their education. Additionally, the toys will be used in classrooms to reinforce educational goals, such as promoting critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Through this initiative, we hope to create an enriching learning environment where every student feels valued and motivated to reach their full potential.
