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

My middle schoolers are a vibrant, energetic bunch, filled with curiosity and potential. They inspire me with their resilience, creativity, and collaborative spirit. They're eager to learn real-world skills and grow into independent thinkers.

This popcorn machine project isn't just about snacks; it's about empowering them.

By running a mini-business, they'll learn vital entrepreneurial skills: budgeting, marketing, sales, and customer service. They'll grasp financial literacy, understanding profit margins and money management. Teamwork and communication will flourish as they collaborate to make it a success.

My goals are to:

* Develop student entrepreneurial confidence.

* Provide hands-on, real-world learning.

* Foster school spirit and community.

* Raise funds for clubs and activities.

* Increase financial literacy.

This project matters because it invests in their future. It gives them tools to succeed, to become problem-solvers and leaders. It's about more than popcorn; it's about popping their potential.
