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

Our goal for this project is to obtain resources that can be given to our students who are struggling and offer them positive interactions, snacks, and skills that can benefit them mentally, socially, and emotionally in their academic journey. Thank you in advance for your contributions. It is greatly appreciated!

Our students are special.

They show up every day. They come from differing socioeconomic statuses, diverse families, with varying academic abilities, and mental health concerns. It is a pleasure and privilege to be able to provide resources for our special students.

Mr. Penaherrera East Middle School Grades 6-8
