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

This year, my Environmental Science and Chemistry students are working diligently to create a more sustainable environment within our high school. Using a program called Eco-School, our kids performed rigorous audits of the school building in an effort to identify ways to improve our ecological footprint. One of the major contributions our school makes to its impact on the environment is the total lack of healthy products available for the community. My students have identified our city, Trenton, NJ, as a food desert. This means we lack affordable and healthy produce. While I know this is an enormous project request, it is well worth it!

In order to reduce our carbon footprint, my Eco-School kids are starting a community greenhouse gardening initiative to support healthy lifestyles and more eco-friendly habits - this project is one we intend to continue regardless of whether or not we are virtual or in-person learning.

The greenhouse gardening system I am requesting will provide students a safe and reliable place to grow produce from our school. They be used year after year to support our sustainable food garden. My students researched this project entirely on their own. They developed leadership and public speaking skills, explored their ecological footprints, drove their own project-based learning, and so much more. Knowledge of their personal environmental impact increased substantially. Supporting this project supports a fully student-led, student-driven environmental goal that will help to foster future generations of environmentally conscious citizens. This program was incredibly successful with my 9th graders last year. This long-term goal will give the students who are coming in for summer school and fall semester next year a chance to have the same experience as my kids this year.
