Celebrating 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
The candy lei I'm requesting will make a meaningful difference in my seniors' learning by providing them with a small token of appreciation on their last day in my class. As they've worked diligently throughout the year, this gesture serves as a heartfelt parting gift to celebrate their achievements and commemorate our time together. My goal for this project is to show my gratitude and admiration for their hard work and dedication while also fostering a sense of camaraderie and warmth as they transition to the next chapter of their lives. What makes my students special is their resilience, creativity, and unwavering commitment to learning, which inspire me every day.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
