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 want to give our students a holiday party to help spread holiday cheer throughout November through December!

Our students are having a fantastic year, and we would like to extend our happy holiday cheer by providing students with stuff animals, ornaments, fidget toys, and other gifts through their winter break!

We are very excited and look forward to giving our students the holiday surprises they deserve! We cannot wait to fill our classroom with holiday spirit and give to each one of our students!

Thank you so much in advance for your contributions to our class!
