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

After over 10 years at the same school, my 8th graders are finally branching out and going onto bigger and better things: high school! Myself and their other teachers wanted to give them a gift to remind them of their time at ZMS.

The Book of Mistakes will be a good reminder to them that no matter the circumstances, they can always try again and make it better.

The notebooks and pens will allow them to write down their fears and manifestations as they walk into a new season of life.

Your donations will not only bring happiness to their lives, but will serve as a memento from their time at ZMS.
