Celebrating 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
The items requested for the Spring Fling, such as decorations and refreshments, will create an engaging and memorable event that fosters a sense of community and belonging among students. By participating in this event, students will develop social skills, teamwork, and leadership abilities, which are essential for their overall growth and success. The positive environment will also enhance their emotional well-being, making them more motivated and focused in their academic pursuits.
Our students are incredibly diverse, with rich backgrounds and perspectives that strengthen our school community.
They are resilient, creative, and passionate about making a difference in their community. Despite the challenges they may face, they consistently demonstrate a strong commitment to their education and personal growth. We are lucky to teach and know these students and hope to give them an experience they can be proud of!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
