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

With your help, I aim to make my students' birthdays even more memorable by providing personalized birthday gifts. These gifts go beyond just fun.

The primary goal of this project is to create a lasting, positive memory for each student on their special day, helping them feel recognized and valued.

It's not only to celebrate, but it serves as a tool to boost self-esteem. The gift bags will include items that promote learning and creativity, reinforcing their sense of belonging and motivation in the classroom.

By honoring their birthdays, we are celebrating their individuality and reinforcing the importance of community, kindness, and shared experiences.
