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

I have been a teacher in and the coordinator for the Social Justice Academy (SJA) at our high school for over a decade. This small school program has challenged young people to tell their story and address the issues that their communities face. The hope is that through this rigorous three-year process, they realize their potential as agents of transformation in society. The mission of SJA is to empower students to make positive changes in their communities and to develop leaders and lifelong learners. Our pedagogy focuses on empowering students through authentic connections between the issues their communities face and the curriculum at school, honoring youth voice, and providing students with the skills and foundational knowledge to address those issues.

I have seen first hand the impact this program makes on not only the students, but the teachers, the families, and the community.

This is not just a program, but a family. Many students describe SJA as their home away from home. They appreciate the knowledge they receive, the socioemotional support, and the skills to grow as individuals and to help empower their communities.

My Project

This project will benefit students in the Social Justice Academy. This three year program challenges young people to tell their story and address the issues that they and their communities face. The hope is that through this rigorous three year process, they realize their potential as agents of transformation in society. The mission of the Social Justice Academy is to empower students to make positive changes in their communities and to develop leaders and lifelong learners.

These arts and crafts materials will be used by students in the Social Justice Academy to help them advocate for and raise awareness around the issues that are important to them.

The materials requested such as the Cricut and heat press will allow them to find creative ways to engage the community in the societal problems that they feel connected to. These materials will allow them to design and create banners, shirts, stickers, buttons, and so forth. Not only will the students be able to tap into their creative side, but it will get them out into the school and local communities talking about these issues.
