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

This year, our focus at school is "Knowledge is Power" and we are encouraging students to see their education as a SUPERPOWER! We are doing weekly drawings for students who are demonstrating this power and the headphones, speakers will be amazing prizes to encourage students to work hard and learn!

At lunch, we are working on keeping students active.

Our students love football and soccer. The soccer goals and footballs will help kids focused on playing and building their teamwork, sportsmanship, and health up!

Finally, we are working to develop more kindness at our school. The posters will be hung around high-traffic areas to encourage and remind students to be kind to one another.
