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

We believe that recognizing hard work and positive behavior is key to creating a motivating and enriching learning environment. Our PBIS rewards program is designed to encourage students to engage actively in their education, show kindness and respect to their peers, and strive for excellence in all areas of their learning.

With your generous donation, we can provide students with small meaningful rewards that foster motivation, self-esteem, and a love for learning.

These rewards will not only inspire academic achievement but also promote positive character development and strengthen our school community.

Your contribution will directly impact the lives of students, ensuring that they feel valued for their efforts and are motivated to continue growing both academically and personally.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
