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 am writing on behalf of our school to request your support for our efforts to enhance our students' learning environment. As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting positive behavior and academic success, we are seeking donations of class incentives that will help our students stay engaged, focused, and motivated. These incentives will not only serve as rewards for their hard work but also as tools to help them calm down and make positive choices in the classroom. We also have a huge new incentive which is bringing drinks and ice pops which we need a mini fridge for. The kids have requested ice pops and juice.

Your generous donation of class incentives such as sensory toys, fidget tools, and relaxation stations will make a significant difference in our students' daily experiences.

These items will provide our teachers with valuable resources to create a calming and supportive atmosphere where students can thrive academically and socially. By offering students a variety of options for self-regulation and positive reinforcement, we aim to foster a positive and inclusive learning environment that benefits all students.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and your contribution will play a vital role in making this belief a reality for our students at Stead Elementary School. Your support will not only impact the lives of our current students but also contribute to the long-term success of our school community. We hope you will consider partnering with us in this important endeavor and help us create a positive and nurturing environment where every student can reach their full potential.

Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to the possibility of working together to support our students' success
