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 student council members have worked diligently throughout this year to be the voice of the student body at our school.

Many before-school and after-school meetings have taken place in order to execute activities, incentives, and school-wide contests with the goal to make our school a fun place for students to come to each day of the week.

The material in this project will provide them with a wireless speaker/lamp that students could use to charge their electronic devices as well as listen to audiobooks—which they prefer over paper books.
