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

Please consider helping me bring fun and yummy incentives to my student store. This store helps me encourage students to make good choices throughout the day. I believe everyone should be rewarded for their hard work, these small snacks and gifts, such as fidgets and stress balls, are how I pay my students for all their effort.

All students deserve to feel they have earned a reward for their hard work.

These rewards may seem small but to a lot of my students, it is not a so common gift and can make a difference in their motivation.
