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

We are creating welcome back to school motivational gift sets for the Class of 2024 students. We will have them ready to give to the first 40 students who return to school and improve their interactions with academics, the staff and their peers.

Embrace the skills needed to work hard and stay focused.

First week of school we will connect to students by sharing out these items such as, journals, planners, snacks, gum and any Class of 2024 gear to promote their goal to obtain a high school diploma. We will also review the successes from the summer school experience and reward any most improved students with these items.

Ms. DeMatteo East Bronx Academy for Future Grades 9-12
