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

Help me motivate the students to do their Homework on a weekly basis. Being a technology school the students will also get to experience firsthand how technology can be used in a fun way by playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Mario Party Superstars as part of our Fun Fridays using the Nintendo Switch. As you may be aware, on rainy days the students are not able to go outside. We have a Multipurpose Room but we do not have the Staff to give the students indoor recess. With the Nintendo Switch, Smash Bros., and Mario Party the students will not dread rainy days.

By donating to our project, you will help motivate the students to complete their Homework on a weekly basis, you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement and make them look forward to rainy days.
