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

7th grade is having an amazing year so far! My students are coming to school and having a blast every day. We would like your support in acquiring board games for our classroom. These games would be very important during cold weather when students are unable to go outside for recess.

By providing them with enjoyable indoor activities, we aim to promote team-building skills and foster a positive and engaging learning environment.

Board games play a crucial role in helping students develop good social, cognitive, and emotional skills. They enable students to practice teamwork and collaboration, as well as strengthen critical thinking abilities, and provide a healthy outlet for enjoyment during periods of indoor confinement.

Your support would be greatly appreciated!
