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

At my school, seniors are required to have a 8-week long Senior Project in order to graduate. Students are pushed to develop a project that they are passionate about and one that can leave a lasting and positive impact on our school community. One project is to create and design a safe place on campus for LGBTQ+ students.

This project is to create a space that allows LGBTQ+ students to connect with one another, have access to community resources, and create a library with a variety of LGBTQ+ fiction and nonfiction books to read.

The selected books will allow all students to learn either from LGBTQ+ authors or from LGBTQ+ stories to create a sense of belonging and acceptance. This project would help leave a lasting legacy by providing the books needed for a LGBTQ+ library.

Thank you for helping!
