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

I want to help motivate, build, and develop entrepreneurship, accounting, and marketing skills to give my African American and Latino students a jump-start on their T-shirt pressing business adventure.

The Cricut explore maker 3 bundle, will allow the students to cut their creative designs, and use the accessories to weed and press the vinyl onto T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats.

The students will use calculators to track expenses and profits.

It is my goal to transform the mindset in which the community view my students. I am forming young minority entrepreneurs to give back to their community in a positive way, so they may not fall into the traps of using Fentanyl or any other addictive and abusive substances.

Mrs. Alvarenga Parkdale High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
