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

This year the AP Literature and Composition exam will be administered on May 4th, 2022. As any good Star Wars fan knows, this is a close homonym to the iconic Star Wars fan "May the force be with you."

In order to give my hard-working, pandemic-weary, and oh-so-lovely Seniors an extra motivation and sense of confidence, I would love to send them on to the exam with a little Star Wars care package filled with Star Wars-themed items such as pencils, pens, bookmarks and more.

In addition, I wanted to include a small bottle of water and granola bars to ensure they are hydrated and full during the exam. Of course, this will not repeat all the hard work we have done this year, but they deserve a little joy in their lives.
