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

Our school hallways need a face-lift! I want my students to feel like they are in another world when the walk through the hallways. We often put a lot of flyers and signs on our hallways and I think we need to have more relaxing views of the holiday season.

Our environment sets our mood, I want my students to get into the holiday season and feel the love in our school.

This is their second home and it should reflect a loving welcoming environment. This will help with coming to school everyday. By making our school a magical place, we will make a significant impact in our school attendance and productivity.
