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 resources will help my students put on spectacular school-wide events as well as community-wide celebrations. My students will use the tools and resources to decorate our building for homecoming, school celebrations, blood drives, and our annual Haunt the Halls free community event for area kids. We will also use some of these items such as the shop vacs and trashcan to clean up after ourselves. It is a key lesson in leadership that my students learn to be responsible with their space and leave it as good, if not better, than they found it.

Mr. Sparks
Grades 9-12
