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

My students are Special Education high school students with a variety of severe needs. The majority of them have learning, emotional and/or behavioral disabled. The majority are from low-income inner-city families. Even though it may seem the odds are stacked up against them, they are truly great kids with bright promising futures. If given the right guidance and tools their future goals could be achieved. With our great teaching staff and your support, these children could become promising future leaders

My Project

My students are Special Education middle/high school students with a variety of severe needs. The majority of them have learning, emotional and/or behavioral disorders. The majority of our students live on campus or are from low-income inner-city families. Getting basic back to school supplies is not even an option for them. I would like to reduce this anxiety by supplying my class with some basics. They will use the pens and pencils for everyday writing. They will need notebooks for journals and assignments. Glue for some fun projects and loose leaf paper for homework. Please help ease the students into the school year with these items.
