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

Today's teens deserve the opportunity to experience "old school" board games. These students don't know how to play these games that build relationships, problem-solving, eye contact, and communication. They have grown up using phones and computers for entertainment and lack this screen-free learning which is so essential for making them well-adjusted grown-ups.

Your generous donations will provide enrichment for students who won't even realize the valuable skills they are building!

Learning how to play these games will encourage my students to play them at home with younger family members, further generating phone-free fun.

These students often come from homes where parents are bravely working two or three jobs to support their family. Students use phones and XBox for entertainment. Please help them with language acquisition and social skills, essential tools for development.
