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 specific items I am requesting are to help students through positive reinforcement and tools to help cope through tougher restorative justice conversations. The snacks will be items that can be chosen as a reward for when we are working toward following expectations in our school. They will be snacks of encouragement to show that we see their drive everyday to make a change in their behavior. The coloring books and fidget toys will be geared more toward the restorative justice aspect of work. We want to create an environment our students feel comfortable in when having those tougher conversations.

Our goals for this project are to create a comfortable and secure environment for our students.

Also, to use these items to encourage positive behavior in our school. Our students are very passionate and loving individuals who want to make a change with the support of our amazing staff.
