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 students who are in student council meet every Friday after school. They are dedicated and hard working, but they are often hungry after school. Yet, they persevere to plan school spirit activites for our school. They need to eat healthy snacks, like fruit bars, and water while they are working together to lead our school.

These students are special because they use their leadership skills to make sure that students' voices are taken into considieration when decisions are made at school.

Our goal is for students to be happy while they are working making posters, signs and motivating other students to show their school spirit.
