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

My students have a positive attitude about coming to school. They are eager to learn all they can. I enjoy coming in to work knowing that we can all make a difference when we focus on good behavior.

I am requesting small toys and prizes for students who show effort, show acts of kindness, and demonstrate good work habits.

Students will also earn prizes for completing their art assignments. Having these prizes will motivate my students to build good work habits as well as, help them to establish good peer relations.

Your donation will make a great impact on my students.

I am also requesting these prizes to celebrate the Lunar New Year.
