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

Our students and community have been through so much this school year. There have been many highs and lows. We want to create a simple idea of spreading kindness through bracelets. We will be creating bracelets and spreading them around the school. We will create simple messages of kindness throughout the school community. This will help many students.

We are in need of many different kinds of beads and string.

We will have our students create messages using beads and then spread them around the school building for others to find. They say spread kindness like it's confetti. This is the best and so important for others to learn to spread around.
