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 community and students know the importance of mental health! We are constantly ensuring that he have the resources to provide our students to succeed in and outside of the class. Our guidance department is constantly looking for new ways to engage our students in social emotional learning.

Our school community is lucky enough to have a mindfulness room as well to support students.

Anything from snacks, games, coloring books and beyond is helpful. Mental health and social emotional learning matters, especially in young adolescents.

Thank you for your support!
