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
Our goal is to celebrate and encourage positive attendance behaviors among students by creating a supportive, energetic, and rewarding school culture. We are planning to host monthly outdoor “Attendance Celebrations,” where students can participate in exciting games and team-building activities. To make these events possible, we need to ask for your help in donating items to help bring joy and motivation to our school community.
With consistent attendance and a bit of fun along the way, students are more likely to thrive both in and out of the classroom.
Students need to understand the importance of attendance, and we introduced monthly challenges and incentives to make it more engaging and rewarding.
These fun, student-centered activities help foster a positive school culture while rewarding commitment. Whether it's classroom competitions, school-wide challenges, or recognition days, incentives such as small prizes, extra recess, or special privileges can motivate students to attend school and stay engaged.
With consistent attendance and a bit of fun along the way, students are more likely to thrive both in and out of the classroom.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
