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

The chosen items will allow students to carry themselves in a self confident way when traveling to another school. Self confidence in teenagers (especially in high school) will help these students be successful in that they will not feel "different". Our students deserve the same equipment as other students. The backpacks and sunglasses will be given to students that need to carry their items in a fashionable way. As for the chairs they will be used to rest when waiting for events in other schools. Our students deserve similar opportunities and equipment as other students.

Students will benefit from the items as they will have better self confidence and they will display their school spirits with pride.

The goals for the items requested are for students to use for self confidence. The goal is to have students looking and feeling great in times of any competition.

The students we are working are hard working students that deserve every opportunity as any other student.

Students will benefit from the resources in every way imaginable.
