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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students are now in the vocational training portion of their high school experience. I need opportunities for my students to learn a skill, create a business model, have financial literacy opportunities and have varied experiences to see where they may like to find a career after high school.
My students with Autism Spectrum Disorder plan on making the candles, personalizing the tins, selling the candles, taking inventory of supplies, keeping track of the most popular scents and budgeting future orders and funding other business opportunities.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
