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 would love to create goodie bags filled with snacks for the eighth graders that are leaving to High School.

We are a K-8 Center and many of these students have been at the school for 10 years.

As a teacher, I have been able to see many of them grow both physically and academically throughout the years. They have worked hard and I would like to reward them with goodie bags during their end of year celebration. These snack donations would help immensely and would greatly be appreciated by our school community.
