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

As the school year winds down, I want to ensure my students are prepared for a safe and active summer break. We are planning a "Summer Kick-off" to reward hard work and doing well throughout the year. Students will receive a "Summer Safety Bag" to take home. With Protection such as high-SPF sunscreen, our students can play outside safely without the risk of sun damage. Comfort, such as A durable beach towel for trips to the park, the pool, or the beach, gives them a sense of ownership over their summer gear. The students leave feeling taken care of with a new goal for the summer to get out and enjoy!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
