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

Students will be able to earn positive behavior rewards for showing the Mustang Way here at school. At various times during the year, we have positive behavior activities sponsored by our school climate advocate and these games will give her tangible rewards for our students. Games have also been linked to enjoyment and when equated with school may help to increase attendance. We will also have whiteboard products to increase productivity. We always have a need for more pencils in our classrooms. Pencils are an essential staple for our state testing we do every spring.
