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

As a dedicated educator, I’m always looking for new ways to grow professionally and better support my students’ learning and motivation. With your generous donations, I will be able to transform our classroom into a vibrant, engaging space using colorful decorations, encouraging bookmarks, and personalized reader certificates that celebrate student progress.

This project will help me grow by allowing me to implement more intentional, student-centered recognition strategies.

I’ll learn how to better motivate and celebrate my readers, helping each child feel seen and valued. The bookmarks and certificates will reinforce positive reading habits, while the inviting classroom environment will foster a love for learning.

Your support will not only brighten our walls—it will build confidence, boost motivation, and create a classroom where every student feels proud of their achievements.
