Celebrating 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
As a third-grade team, we are thrilled to be launching a new VIP Program to celebrate our students' dedication and hard work in reading. Our mission is to teach students the importance of setting personal goals and striving to achieve them through consistent effort and perseverance. To kick off this exciting initiative, we are planning a Drive-In Movie Theatre Experience for students who meet their individual reading goals. This will be the first of several surprise celebrations aimed at motivating students to stay focused and reach their full potential.
We are seeking donations to help recreate an authentic movie theatre experience such as: Popcorn and popcorn bags, Movie-style candy (like M&Ms, Skittles, or mini boxes), Drinks (juice boxes, mini water bottles, or sodas), VIP Lanyard Badges so students can proudly wear their achievement
Your support will help us reward and recognize the hard work our students are putting in toward their academic goals. We believe this celebration will not only be fun but will also build momentum and excitement for continued success.
Thank you for considering helping us make this event a memorable one for our VIP readers!
