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

These items would support parent meetings of English (multilingual) language learners. This year, we have a host of meetings and workshops about personal and family wellness. Parents attend a meeting or workshop at least once a month for the entire school year. Topics include but are not limited to stress, anxiety, grief and loss, financial literacy, and life changes and family transitions.

The children will benefit from having parents who are healthier, calmer, and more involved than before.

This, in turn, will assist in the increase the achievement, attendance, and overall performance of students.
