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 Students

Do you recall the way it felt when someone you looked up to took a special interest in you? How about what it felt like when that special someone took time out of their busy schedule to ask about your well-being and progress? Our staff mentoring program allows our teachers to do just that.

Our students are underpriviledged and are in need of positive adult relationships.

The staff mentoring program allows our students to develop relationships with the leaders in our school community through one-on-one meetings once a week. There is evidence of emotional and academic growth through their participation in the program.

My Project

The mentor and mentees with complete the craft activities that are purchased through Donors Choose during their weekly meetings. The purchase of the requested materials will allow the students to work with their mentor to create and decorate buttons, door hangers, photo picture frames, baskets, and other fun crafts. The quality time shared between mentor and mentee will be a memorable experience that they will both cherish for years to come.

Funding this project will help make the moments the staff mentor and student mentee spend together fun and interactive.

All participants look forward to creating and participating in the planned craft activities with their mentee. Your donation makes this possible.
