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 classroom buzzes with excitement thanks to our dynamic online classroom economy system! This hands-on learning experience transforms financial literacy into a fun and engaging part of our daily routine. Students eagerly apply for jobs, manage their monthly income, and make real-world financial decisions—balancing necessities like bills with fun purchases. The thrill of earning and budgeting keeps them motivated to stay engaged in class, as they work toward exciting rewards like snacks and flexible seating options from our store.
But we need your help to make this program even more impactful!
Your generous donation will provide essential supplies and incentives that keep students motivated and immersed in this real-world financial experience. By supporting this project, you’re not just helping students earn classroom rewards—you’re equipping them with critical life skills that will empower them to become responsible, financially savvy citizens in our community. Join us in shaping the future of these young learners—every contribution makes a difference!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
