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

Our students work really hard. On top of all they have to learn, they have so many social situations to navigate. At our school, we implemented a Whole-School Positive Behavior Incentive System. When teachers catch kids showing their COMPASS Values, they can earn a ticket. The tickets are collected in a giant container in the school office. When it fills up, the whole school earns a prize!

Our kids have been working really hard to live our school’s COMPASS values of Kindness, Respect, Effort, and Responsibility; now they deserve to be recognized!

Help us to recognize all their hard work with supplies for some fun activities and decorations to keep students excited and motivated! Imagine the hush that will fall over the gym as students munch on popcorn while watching a movie on our new projector. Think of the excitement as we hand out cotton candy in the schoolyard. Think of the energy as students enjoy a field day with snacks at the park. And don’t forget the slime! Making slime and other crafts fills students of ALL ages with joy.

In the wise words of Rita Pierson, “Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be.”

Will you be our kids’ CHAMPION? I hope we can count on you to help us show our kids that showing kindness, respect, effort, and responsibility really pays off - now and forever, as they become the wonderful people who will someday lead our world!
