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

Since September, my children have worked extra hard to ensure that they are getting bigger and stronger everyday! Their participation, determination, and sense of community is admirable. I am so proud of the strong little humans they are becoming. By the time we get to June, i want to be able to give them a WELL-DESERVED reward in recognition of all of their hard work! Please help supply my class with their "Moving Up Ceremony" gift! This gift will supply them with a "Summer Bucket List" allowing them to be a KID and helping them to reload for Pre-K 4!
