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

The bubbles, tattoos, and other awareness items will serve as engaging tools to capture attention and spark conversations about autism. These items will help create a welcoming and interactive environment where students can learn about autism in a fun and meaningful way. By making the walk more interactive, we encourage participation and foster understanding, ensuring that students with autism feel seen, included, and valued by their peers.

The main goal is to promote autism awareness and educate students about what autism is and how it affects individuals by encouraging inclusivity and acceptance within the school and broader community.

We will help students with autism feel comfortable and supported in social and academic settings, and create a lasting impact by fostering a culture of understanding and kindness.

My students are bright, unique, and eager to learn, despite the challenges they face. Many of them have autism and other disabilities and come from low-income backgrounds, yet they continue to show resilience and determination every day. This project is about celebrating their strengths, breaking down barriers, and ensuring they feel embraced by their school community.
