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

As a teacher, I am passionate about providing my students with tools that allow them to express themselves and advocate for important causes.

With this machine, students will have the ability to create their custom buttons that represent their unique styles, alliances, and support for various causes.

These buttons will serve as a visual representation of their advocacy and will empower them to make their voices heard on issues such as supporting immigrant students, the National Honor Society, breast cancer awareness, anti-bullying, and much more.

By supporting this project, you will be giving our students a platform to express themselves and make a positive impact in their community. Your donation will help us purchase a badge press machine, button supplies, and other necessary materials.
