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

The almost 900 students at our school live in a low-income neighborhood with limited access to basic school supplies. We are a Title I school with almost all of the students qualifying for free breakfast and free lunch each day. On average, 2-3 students in my classroom are considered homeless and struggle to find suitable housing. They qualify for assistance through The McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act.

Although my students have limited access to resources, they are enthusiastic to come to school each day to learn many new standards.

I look forward to giving my students many of the much-needed supplies this year by asking generous donors to provide these supplies.

My Project

Each year, many of my 5th grade students come to school with backpacks they have had since Kindergarten. So you can imagine how a fifth grade student feels carrying a Frozen or LEGO backpack while being an older student. Many of their backpacks have broken zippers and are too small to hold their upper grade binders and books.

I would like to have 11 new backpacks to give to the 10% of our fifth grade students who will not have an adequate backpack this year.

Since almost 20% of our students qualify as homeless, these backpacks will be put to good use this year and will be a welcome replacement to what the students currently have or to give them their first backpack.
