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 Students

My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love hands-on, active, engaging projects and challenges that allow them to think outside the box to find solutions! They come to school each day ready to try new things and take brave chances in order to grow both personally and academically. Truly, they are my inspiration!

My Project

Didn’t you love to get up from your seat and play a game at school when you were a student? Often times we forget that kids are still kids! These games will help build on essential reading and math skills taught throughout the year in a fun way for many years to come! Students are more successful when they are provided with engaging experiences that are memorable for them in class. Please consider donating to this special cause to help many students grow academically and learn through play. Thank you!
