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

Our school has very hardworking, and goal-oriented students and many participate in the different clubs that are offered at our school. They are committed to their own self-development as well as focusing on their social interaction with other students. As we continue to grow the clubs at our school and get more students involved in the different clubs, student grades and attendance rates will rise substantially. My Esports club is giving students valuable communication and collaboration skills, which they will be able to take with them through high school, college, career, and life.

The heat press will make it possible to make custom t-shirts to take home to express their hard work and commitment to the different clubs at our school.

Making T-shirts is fun, a learning experience, a teambuilding exercise, and the finished product is something that the students get to show off and be proud of.

A heat press machine will allow me to make personal gifts that I can give to students in my clubs or in my regular classrooms.
