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

By implementing this system, we are not only promoting positive interactions among students but also working to cultivate a supportive and inclusive school environment where everyone feels valued and appreciated.

Students will have the opportunity to redeem these special coupons for a variety of exciting prizes at our monthly store which includes snacks, fidgets, school supplies, and more.

These items will help us keep our Kindness Coupon store stocked. This not only encourages students to engage in kind actions but also reinforces the idea that kindness is something to be celebrated. Each coupon serves as a tangible acknowledgment of their positive behavior, motivating them to continue spreading kindness throughout our school community.

By highlighting and rewarding acts of kindness, we aim to make this essential value a fundamental aspect of our school's identity. We believe that through this initiative, we can create a ripple effect that inspires all students to contribute to a culture where kindness is at the forefront of our daily interactions.
