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 Student Council members are change-makers! They know that it is cool to care and by working together we can have a positive impact on our school community to create a better, brighter tomorrow!

Items such as posters, photo frames, and plastic sleeves will be used to promote Student Council initiatives school-wide.

The money box, plastic envelopes, and coin wrappers will help our treasurer with collections for these initiatives. Additionally, items like the Student Council pins will be gifted to students as a symbol to their school community that they are a part of our team!
