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

In our classroom, we believe that every student deserves a voice and a sense of belonging. This project includes books, STEM kits, games, and activities and is designed to foster teamwork and teach essential social justice principles through collaborative activities, diverse literature, and open discussions. By working together on group projects, learning about different cultures and perspectives, and reflecting on fairness and equity, students will build empathy, communication skills, and a commitment to making their community more inclusive. Your support will help empower young leaders to stand up for what’s right, together. Your support is highly appreciated, and it will be valued for years to come.
