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

Student will be doing beautification projects around the school/garden growing flowers, spices, bird houses.

The idea is for the students gain the confidence to grow plants and take care of them and understanding the process of hydroponics inside classroom and compare the benefits and problems for the plants that grow outside

The students will work on personal or group projects that can help with the campus to be more eco-friendly but also the idea is to push the students to be more social with activities outside.

Most of our students go directly from school to work with out having time to connect with mother nature daily
