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

At our junior high school we strive to help our students thrive within the classroom and out!

With our Griffin Store, students are able to come in and purchase items with "Griffin Bucks" (virtual currency earned through positive classroom participation/interactions), helping them learn to manage their money wisely and/or learning positive work ethics (showing up on time to open store/delegating tasks amongst workers).

Help us provide our students the Griffin Store they deserve! (All items listed have been picked by students as items they would like to see in their store!)
