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 class of 2024 contains some of the most driven and intelligent students I have encountered as an educator. These students are kind, respectful, driven, and focused on their futures. They have been working all year on their literary analysis skills in hopes of earning a passing score on the AP English Literature and Composition exam.

With this project each student will be provided with all the essential materials needed to excel in their exam.

Each kit will include a reliable pen, a good luck charm, and snack for their short break, and gum to help them focus. Beyond mere provisions, these kits are designed to instill confidence and readiness in our students, enabling them to showcase their full potential on this critical examination.
