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 3rd grade team has hosted VIP events for our kiddos this school year. Each classroom teacher works with their students to set a goal for each reading unit test. For any student who has successfully met their goal, they are rewarded with a fun VIP event. Our students work hard to be able to attend these fun events. This event is set to be full of sun and sand fun!

Please help me secure materials needed for a sun and sand fun VIP dig, including a shell bag for each student, scoops, and sifters to dig through the sand, a wagon to drag around the event, gemstones, shark teeth, shells, and more to have fun in the sun event.

The students truly look forward to these events and have been working hard to be able to attend! I would love help being able to continue to gain support with securing the materials needed for these events.
