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 a celebratory reward system for students who push through and overcome daily obstacles. Those that persevere and continue to put their best foot forward succeed 99% of the time. With this project, we will be implementing a punch card system that every student can achieve. By nailing daily objectives and aceing exit tickets, students will have a chance to choose a prize of their choice. We want to encourage and reward good work. This will teach our students that good deeds are rewarded and with drive, faith, and action they can achieve their goals.

Ms. J Kennedy Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
