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.

I am a 7th grade English teacher that works with an inner city, high-risk, high-need student population. Our school is 73% bilingual and we receive Title 1 funding.

We have no money to purchase the number of books that we need to successfuly promote "The Pact" within the school and community.

A committee of teachers, parents, community members, and students have formed a literature circle centered around "The Pact." The books will be used in the classroom and for our literature circle that we named after the inspirational true story, "The Pact."

As educators we are merchants of hope, determined to "sell" our students on the idea that hope must exist and dreams do come true. The book, "The Pact" shares the story of three inner-city youth (from Newark, New Jersey)who make a pact to become doctors. "Growing up in broken homes in a crime-ridden area of Newark, N.J., these three authors could easily have followed their childhood friends into lives of drug-dealing, gangs and prison. They tell harrowing stories of being arrested for assault and mugging drug dealers, and of the lack of options they saw as black teenagers. But when their high school was visited by a recruiter from a college aimed at preparing minority students for medical school, the three friends decided to make something of their lives. Through the rigors of medical and dental school, and a brief detour into performing rap music at local clubs, they supported each other.
