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

The items requested, particularly the treadmill in the library, play a crucial role in creating a welcoming and engaging environment that promotes student interest and relaxation.

The goal of this project is to enhance student engagement with the library, increase the frequency of student visits, and encourage book checkouts for pure enjoyment.

By creating a more inviting space through the addition of the treadmill, students will have a reason to explore and utilize the library resources, ultimately fostering a love for reading and improving academic performance.

Every student is special in their unique way, and by providing opportunities for stress relief, relaxation, and enjoyment through innovative initiatives like this project, we aim to cater to the diverse needs and interests of our students. By fostering a positive and supportive environment, we can empower high school students to excel academically and cultivate a passion for reading.
