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

With state testing approaching, students are reviewing the skills we've learned this year. Our math team wants to give our students an exciting, fun way to review to help motivate them to do their best- Glow Day!

Our students will be wonderfully surprised to walk into a Glow Themed room, welcomed with glow-in-the-dark supplies and work together to practice their skills!

The supplies requested will allow our three grade levels to host Glow Days throughout the year, getting kids pumped to be in class and working on math! We truly appreciate your support.
