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

Research shows that when students feel safe and like they belong, they are more succeptable to learning. We want our students to know just how special they are to our campus through gifting them with school shirts and pencil bags. 80% of our students are from low-income families and can't afford to buy school additional shirts so a Cricut machine would take that burden away.

School spirit goes a long way with students, teachers, and families.

Please help me build community and confidence on our campus! Student academic success is sure to follow.
