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

I would like to recognize my 10 AP Spanish students. In a few more months, they will start new endeavors and follow their dreams. We are currently getting ready to take our AP Spanish exam, earn three colleague credits, and apply everything we have learned from the beginning of the year.

I want to recognize and award my amazing students and let them know that the world and I believe in them and their dreams.

We all accomplish our goals, dreams, and aspirations with hard work. Their path in college will be the second step in their lives to reach their dreams but continue to be resilient and strong during any storm in life.

These backpacks will remind them of how much are loved and that the sky is limitless to their purpose in life and the world. To give back to the ones in need as the world was generous with them through their journey.
