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

My students are incredible young people who work hard every day, showing up with enthusiasm, curiosity, and determination. After putting in so much effort academically and socially, they deserve opportunities to celebrate their successes in a fun, memorable way.

I am requesting a snow cone machine to help us create small moments of joy throughout the school year, whether for incentive rewards, celebrations after big projects, attendance achievements, or special events like Field Day and spirit rallies.

A snow cone is a simple, inexpensive treat that feels like a big reward to students of all ages!

With this machine, we can offer cool, refreshing treats to recognize milestones, encourage positive behavior, and build a stronger sense of school community. It's a fun and affordable way to show students that their hard work is noticed and appreciated. Plus, making snow cones can teach lessons about teamwork, service, and even simple economics during events or fundraisers. In addition to the snow cone machine and supplies, we are asking for an antique trolley to house the snow cone machine.
