LES LEGO Club: Creating Kindness and Confidence

Help me give my students the opportunity to build social skills through a twice-weekly LEGO Club with LEGO bricks to support teamwork, creativity, and confidence—one brick at a time, while having fun!

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 students are curious, creative, and full of potential. Many of them are still developing essential social-emotional skills like cooperation, patience, and positive communication. They come from diverse backgrounds and learn best when they’re actively engaged—and nothing engages them quite like LEGO!

By meeting twice a week, students will receive ongoing, hands-on practice using social-emotional skills in a fun, low-pressure environment.

Lynch LEGO Club will help them grow in confidence, creativity, and friendship. Your support makes it possible for students to feel successful, connected, and proud—one brick at a time.
