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

My passion for attendance runs deep. I've spearheaded events at my school for the past 4 years, bringing families, educators, and administrators together. I've heard so many positive stories regarding how our events have made families feel comfortable with their child being in our care, how families advocate for change, how they encourage other families to attend our school, and how the events have changed a families outlook on school (some families had negative school experiences themselves).

"The need for connection and community is primal, as fundamental as the need for air, water, and food."

I would like to host an end of year attendance event for our families to make keepsake hats for their hard work and dedication for the 2024-2025 school year. The theme would be, "Hats Off To You: For 90% or better attendance during the 2024-2025 school year!" Students and family members will be able to design their own hat.

We work to cultivate partnerships with families, each other and the community. Our highest priority is child development and student success.
