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

These items will be used to jumpstart our H.E.A.R.T (PBIS) incentive store. Students will be rewarded points for showing their Hard Work, Excellence, Attitude, Respect and Teamwork around campus. With their points, they will be able to redeem incentives from the H.E.A.R.T. store.

In return students will be more invested in the school culture and climate and we will be able to reduce and redirect disruptive behavior.

These items will impact the whole student body at O. High School. With a positive school culture and environment, students can learn with ease!
