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 initiative allows them to create fidget toys for younger students using our 3D printer. These specific items will not only provide sensory support but also foster a sense of community among our students.

My goal for this project is to help my students channel their feelings about graduation into something positive and impactful.

What makes my students special is their ability to think of others during this emotional time. They are eager to leave a lasting mark on our school and give back to their community; one of which many have spent their entire schooling careers.
