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

I would love to be able to offer some students that have smaller ears, the over the ear headphones. At our school, we only have earbuds available to students. Once those run out, we are out for the rest of the school year. Some students are not able to buy their own headphones once the pair they receive breaks.

I would love to be able to have them purchase one in the student store with the money they earn for completing assignments and turning in homework.

They are very motivated by earning points. I also love to give students a snack when they are hungry and they don't have anything to eat in their backpack.
