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

Our school is proud to support a diverse student body, including many newcomers learning English as an additional language through the Lexia English program. However, unlike other academic programs with established recognition systems, these multilingual students often lack formal acknowledgment of their progress. To address this issue, our project aims to celebrate each milestone our students achieve in learning English, which is crucial for their academic integration and personal growth.

I would appreciate your help funding special celebrations and rewards for our newcomer students as they pass each Lexia English learning program level.

By providing exclusive rewards, we can acknowledge their hard work and perseverance in mastering a new language and align their recognition with that of their peers in other programs.

Recognizing the achievements of our multilingual students is vital for several reasons:

1. Equity in Education: Every student deserves to be celebrated for their academic progress. Our newcomer students lack this official recognition, which is crucial for their self-esteem and motivation.

2. Encouragement and Motivation: Celebrations and rewards provide positive reinforcement that motivates students to continue improving their language skills.

3. Inclusivity: By celebrating their achievements, we foster a more inclusive and supportive school environment where all students feel valued and recognized.

We offer tailored celebrations that make each student feel seen and appreciated. By mirroring the recognition given to other programs, we ensure equity and boost the overall school experience for our multilingual learners. These celebrations help build stronger connections among students, staff, and the wider community.
