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

Our students work hard all year and we want to celebrate them by giving them some fun team-building games to play. Students will be able to spend the day with their friends and make memories to bring our year to an end.

Students need to practice sharing, working in teams, as well as fine motor skills.

A majority of students come from low-income homes and are not exposed to playing board games or working with groups or partners to reach a goal. This gives students the tools to make connections with peers and time to actually be a kid.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.

More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
