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 4th and 5th grade gifted and talented students are set to explore the realms of innovation and real estate entrepreneurship. With a Cricut, my students can create custom designs and have the ability to sell their unique creations.

With these resources, my students will craft custom materials to advertise their businesses and create unique logos, fostering their entrepreneurial skills.

Your donation will enhance my students technological and design skills, crucial in today's digital world, preparing them for future careers.

I'm passionate about ensuring my students have every opportunity available to them, free from financial constraints, so they can explore and excel without limitations.
