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

My fifth graders are eager to learn and participate in various activities, both in the classroom and outside. However, in a bustling school environment, it can be challenging to ensure that every student hears important instructions and announcements.

We need portable PA systems to enhance classroom instruction and ensure effective communication during outdoor activities.

A PA system will not only support students’ learning but also enhance their engagement during lessons, assemblies, and outdoor events.

These PA systems/speakers will be used for:

Classroom instruction: Ensuring that every student can hear lessons, even in a large or noisy classroom.

Outdoor learning and recess: Providing clear directions during physical education, assemblies, and safety drills.

School events and activities: Enhancing communication during field trips, community gatherings, and performances.
