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

Lower income Hispanics make up 85% of our school. Many live in multi-family homes where extended families share one small house. We are in the highest bracket for free and reduced price lunch in our district. Our school district gave free lunch to every student through October to help reduce expenses as we rebuild due to the natural disaster (Hurricane Harvey). Every single athlete was impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Two days after the worst of the storm, our high school team started volunteering to local assistance such as Red Cross. Dozens of athletes came up to help distribute clothes, meals, or play with children.

These students lost a lot of time and stuff because of the hurricane.

We want to help the culture of our school get back on track.

My Project

Building Culture is our ultimate goal. The ball rack will support in developing great habits such as organizing, picking up after yourself, and a sense of cleanliness. Normally, for all our middle and high school classes we place all the sports balls in the corner. When the balls are everywhere, our scholars tend to be everywhere.

The rack will assist in developing a culture of manners and responsibility.

The scholars will place the balls on the rack when finished with them. We need to maintain discipline and upkeep. It's amazing how the small details make a world of a difference.
