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

There are so many opportunities that many of our students miss out on because of lack of financial resources. They often miss out on things like field trips, guest speakers, and sports because many of our students do not have the money to contribute towards chartering busses or entrance costs. We want our students to learn ways in which they can proactively find the financial resources they need by finding ways to make some money towards their goals! The students came up with the exciting idea of making and selling buttons to help them offset some of the costs they have to cover to take their educational experiences a step further. Please help us show these middle schoolers how to hustle!
