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

Old-school is cool (pencils), but there's something to be said for typing.

My advanced creative writing students had me as their teacher last year.

This year, they are using what they've learned and applying that knowledge to four independent projects. They are creative students who don't always "fit in" with conventional. Writing is their haven.

My Project

These students are talented and energetic. As a teacher that is well-informed in regards to the world of publishing, I have encouraged my students to begin sending their work out for publication, themselves. They have recently received their first rejections, and their fist acceptances! A laptop would enable my students to better hone their writing and help their productivity.

We have NO money.

Our district is cutting, cutting, cutting. We need to support the Arts any way we can. Creativity can't, nor should it, be measured in dollars. My students deserve the best opportunity to succeed. This is one small step towards that.
