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

Support Our Student Store – Donate Today!

Our students earn tickets by demonstrating the 10 essential character traits: Caring, Principled, Inquirer, Open-Minded, Reflective, Risk-Taker, Balanced, Knowledgeable, Communicator, and Thinker.

These tickets can be saved and used at our Student Store to “purchase” fun prizes as a reward for their positive behavior and hard work.

We are a Title 1 school, and our ability to provide these rewards depends heavily on the generosity of our community. Your donations help us recognize and encourage students for embodying these important traits. I want to add pencils, snacks, fidgets, coloring, keychains, straws, and more!

Without your support, opportunities like this wouldn’t be possible for many of our students. Thank you for helping us make a difference!
