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

At G. Language Academy we encourage our students to have purple pride and learn to be respectful, responsible and safe. These characteristics help improve the learning environment to help our students achieve success academically and socially.

When students are respectful, responsible and safe they are rewarded swipes/points that can be redeemed at the Purple Pride School store.

With these donations, we will be able to start the school year off strong by rewarding the students for being respectful, responsible and safe. I am asking for items that they can be rewarded with at the first Purple Pride Store of the school year.

Students earn points for being responsible, respectful, and safe. When students are able to use these points, it encourages them to exhibit these qualities of being respectful and responsible in everyday situations.

These items will help us be able to encourage and reward students for the hard work they do. They know staff members notice when they are responsible and safe and are proud to continue these behaviors all year long.
