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 fifth‑graders arrive each day bursting with curiosity, creativity, and serious energy. Many come from households where extra snacks or custom water bottles feel like luxuries, yet these small comforts have a huge impact on their focus and confidence. When students know their basic needs are met, they can pour all that energy into rigorous lessons, collaborative projects, and innovative thinking.

By providing snack packs, popcorn for celebratory “Fun Fridays,” and reusable water bottles personalized with motivational stickers, this project will turn simple moments—brain breaks, hydration, and positive‑behavior rewards—into consistent boosts for learning stamina.

Students will earn these items through ourClass Dojo economy, reinforcing goal‑setting, financial literacy, and social‑emotional skills while keeping them fueled and hydrated throughout long stretches of math, reading, and science.

Your support will transform our classroom into a space where every child feels seen, supported, and celebrated—one sip, snack, and sticker at a time. Thank you for believing in Parkside’s power‑packed learners!
