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

First of all, I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who has supported my High School LEGO Club over its first two years. I wish every single one of you could come and see how much the students love spending time together and building sets that they never dreamed they would be able to. I have seen students who don't say a single word during class and sit by themselves every day at lunch, come out of their shells and make friends while building together. So from the bottom of all of our hearts, thank you!

Mr. Truppo Trenton Central High School Grades 9-12
