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

This year I have had the pleasure of working with a creative, funny, energetic, athletic, inquisitive, articulate group of 20 scholars. They have worked so hard, have learned so much, and have achieved amazing milestones! Majority of come from Spanish speaking homes and English is not their first language. They have overcome this language barrier by not only meeting my academic goals but excelling beyond my expectations. What better way to reward them than with award medals and thoughtful gifts on their promotional ceremony day? These gift bags will help them realize they are special and hard work pays off. They can enjoy them this sumer as they prepare for Kindergarten.

Please help me give my students memorable promotional ceremony day gifts as they are promoted Kindergarten.

With your help, we will be giving each student a medal on their graduation day as they walk across the stage. Each gift bag will be filled with the gifts and treats included in this project. Please help me make their promotion day a memorable one for my scholars!
