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

Imagine a classroom where English, Math, Science, and Career Exploration come to life as students design their very own video games. Our 9th-grade students are diving into a project-based learning experience that ignites creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. At the culmination of their hard work, they’ll showcase their creations at a Game Showcase—a proud moment to display their ideas and innovations.

To ensure every student has the tools they need to participate fully, we are requesting an additional 72 tri-fold display boards.

These boards will allow our students to present their projects professionally, fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Our school serves a diverse group of learners from all backgrounds, and we are committed to providing an equitable learning environment where every student has the opportunity to succeed. By contributing to this project, you’ll be helping to create an inclusive space where creativity and hard work can shine.

Your support will not only help our students present their work but also inspire them to dream big and explore future career pathways. Together, we can make this Game Showcase an unforgettable experience for our 9th graders. Thank you for believing in the power of education and innovation!
