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

Planning to start off the school year with gifts of kindness to the Class of 2024. We will focus on setting goals and positive mantras to start off Junior year in high school. We will use to help the students connect back to school and each other after summer break.

The power in kindness goes along way.

Sharing tokens of positive messages to focus on setting their goals and plans for high school and beyond. Our college and career office has become their go to place for support, motivation and encouragement.
