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

The Aztec Media yearbook staff will put out various projects this year to connect our campus - including our Spirit Stand at home football games, banners/signs around campus and in-class arts activities and bonding. These supplies will give us a variety of tools to work together as a team and come together as a staff with social and emotional learning projects that will benefit our individual students and campus community as a whole. Whether it's brightly colored (and school colors) paper, instant camera film or metallic sharpies to leave our mark on signs, snacks to fuel the fun or buttons students create ... these materials will help bring smiles to our staff.

Mr. T. Copper Canyon High School Grades 9-12
