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

These items are to support our attendance lanes, giving our students the chance to earn a small prize for making the choice to come to school every day; Encouraging them to make better choices for being here on time and ready to learn this upcoming year.

These prizes will be giving out after every perfect attendance ceremony to the students that get an award.

My goal is to motivate our students this upcoming year from the beginning. By having theses cool prizes we have seen a improvement to the number of students in our perfect attendance ceremony.
