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

Hosting a Global Festival is a meaningful way to bring the world to our students and celebrate the beauty of cultural diversity. My goal is for every student (Preschool through high school) to gain exposure to countries across all continents, expanding their understanding of traditions, languages, geography, food, music, and daily life. Students will also be making piñatas from different countries for a hands-on activity with high school students.

This event creates an authentic learning experience where Spanish class high school students take ownership by researching countries and designing engaging, visually rich displays that showcase their learning.

In turn, our Preschool through junior high students will "travel" from country to country, getting their passports stamped as they explore each exhibit.

This interactive experience fosters curiosity, empathy, and global awareness while building connections across grade levels. The Global Festival is more than a project; it is an opportunity to unite our school community, celebrate diversity, and inspire students to see themselves as part of a larger, interconnected world.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
