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 Students

Traditionally in a school building, restrooms are used more for a break from class than anything else. Students need the walk, the air, and the privacy to collect themselves and return to class. Our students are dedicated to their learning and increasing their grades.

Students need a place where they gather much more than a tiny break- but motivation to continue their day of studies!

We talk about grit, being present, and being intentional- now our walls have to display it!

My Project

Students need breaks just as we all do! The only place we have to take that breather is commonly in the restroom! As its name suggests, it should be a room where one gets a quick rest! The mirrors are all scratched that the students cannot even see themselves. The decals would add a lovely and welcoming environment for the students!

Students will benefit from restrooms that have motivational sayings on the walls and stalls.

They need a clean room and they will contribute to its upkeep because they will have pride in it. As we brainstormed ideas, the students were just so excited to get this done. Our school climate will be changed by this little remodeling project.
