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

Hello, wonderful supporters,

My students work hard every single day in class by completing Zearn and Prodigy lessons, showing kindness, trying their best, and growing into great math and science learners.

One way I encourage these positive habits is through our classroom treasure box, a special place filled with small rewards that make a big impact on motivation and joy.

Right now, our treasure box is running low, and I would love to keep this tradition going. Your donation will help fill it with meaningful incentives like stickers, pencils, fidgets, small toys, and other kid-approved treasures that celebrate their effort and brighten their day. Every Friday, my students look forward to earning something fun to play with over the weekend.

Even the smallest contribution can bring a huge smile to a child who has worked hard to earn it. If you’re able, please consider supporting our project. Your generosity helps create a classroom where every achievement feels special.

Thank you for believing in my students and helping make our classroom a place full of encouragement, excitement, and learning!

With gratitude,

Ms. Pena
