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

One of the main focuses we are working towards this year is to improve our students' sense of being by addressing their lack of confidence, motivation, and personal gratification of success. By incorporating a student of the week, we want to celebrate those students who demonstrate our school's core values of community, excellence, leadership, and growth.

Help us celebrate the smell of sweet success with Smencils as a way to reward our students who earn this award!

Other items included on this wishlist include a tetherball set for our playground, puzzles for the calming corner or indoor recess days, and shipping labels for easily labeling student workbooks, folders, and journals.
