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

We are down to the last month of school for the 2024-2025 school year! I want to motivate students who are close to becoming chronic absentee students. I would like to monitor their attendance for the last month.

In order to motivate them, I would like to use incentives such as snacks and toys.

My goal is to have them not reach chronic absenteeism by the end of the school year.

If this does not get donated in May, I will use it for the 2025-2026 school year. Thank you!
