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

We will educate our students on the significance of Memorial Day. We learn about major global conflicts in several courses (such as World War I, World War II, the Korean War, etc.) and discuss the differences between Veterans Day and Memorial Day.

We would like to have US flags to create a Field of Honor to recognize and honor our fallen heroes as a tribute on the front lawn of our school.

We will have an assembly involving local veterans as well.

We would like to honor the many local military personnel that gave the ultimate sacrifice. All gave some; some gave all.

Our woodshop classes will make small flagpoles for these flags. Our students will help create this Field of Honor.
