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

We are a charter school in the inner city of Los Angeles (Watts). The goal is to showcase student creativity, talent, and future career ideas. Having technology shouldn’t be a barrier but, it is. Our 6th graders will learn how to be positive digital citizens, have exposure to/equity to technology, a reason to come to school, and assist their school community.

We hope that student-created projects will spark interest, build community, and school pride.

In order to accomplish this, we need gimbals. By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus what they are interested in, but you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement. We dream to be great!
