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

Scholars are about to embark into March Madness as we prep and gear students for NYS Testing. Scholars have been working hard in prepping for exams, understanding the political climate we are in, and learning how to identify and manage their emotions.

These fidget toys will help scholars concentrate while in class and prepping for the exams, while snacks will help scholars as they have an early lunch period everyday, and by 12 pm are ready to eat again.

Scholars will be able to use these fidgets and snacks to get their minds and bodies ready to complete the day.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
