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 am the Mental Health Counselor at a Title I school located in East Palo Alto, California. One of our goals as a school is to serve the whole child. This means in addition to providing comprehensive academic education, we also prioritize students' social and emotional learning and well-being.

I work to promote students’ self-awareness and self-regulation as well as social awareness and social skills.

For many of our students, school is one of the very few places offerings emotional and mental health resources and supports.

Ninety-one percent of our students participate in the free and reduced-price meal program. Ninety percent of our students speak English as a second language. Ninety-eight percent of our students will be first-generation college students. Ninety percent of our students are Latino; 6.5% are African-American; 2% are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.

Our students are scholars striving to become the best versions of themselves, and they deserve all the resources and supports that are readily available to students in higher-income communities.

My Project

I would like to purchase art supplies and projects for my students that will support their social and emotional learning.

Like children across the country and the world, my students have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As we have returned to in-person learning we are navigating supporting our students as they adjust returning to campus and process their experience over the last almost 2 years.

With this project I would be able to purchase some projects and materials that would give students the opportunity to process their experiences and express their thoughts and feelings.
