Help me give my students a fun summer school experience because they deserve the best!

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

My students are amazing! They continue to work hard each day even with the hardships they have faced over the past couple of years in school. They come to school every day ready to learn.

Many of my students will need to attend summer school to continue to make progress.

I am hoping to give them a fun and engaging experience so they will enjoy coming to school during the summer months.

The materials in my project will help make my students' summer school experience a memorable one. Not only will they be learning, but they will also be having fun too!
