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

I love that my students bring energy, creativity, and resilience to our school every day. They are eager to grow not just academically, but also as kind, responsible members of our community. They thrive when they know their efforts are noticed and celebrated. The resources from this project — snacks — will help encourage positive behavior and reinforce important life skills like perseverance, accountability, and mindfulness.

These rewards will motivate students to make good choices, build confidence, and contribute to a positive school culture where everyone feels valued and supported.

Every treat is a small celebration of their hard work!
