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

Do you want to make the world better but are unsure where to begin?

Help us get our creative ideas out into the world!

This dynamic group of current 7th graders will start their 8th-grade year with an immersive project that allows them to develop to make the world a better place and then create a podcast to get the word out there and inspire others to complete Better World projects of their own!

Students will use designated time in class to design a way to make the world a better place. Past students have created high-visibility vests for dogs, toiletry bags for our local unhoused population, and learned a new language to be able to communicate with older family members more effectively. You would not believe the amazing ideas these students have to make the world better, and then put those ideas into practice. It's awe-inspiring!

We would love to get these genius ideas out into the world and inspire others by creating a podcast about each project. To do that, we need a few tech tools, including a laptop, headset, and microphone. This is where you come in! Please consider supporting our classroom!
