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 Project

HES, nestled in the heart of Lincoln Heights, is not just an inner-city school: it's the heartbeat of an incredible community. Our small but mighty school is a warm and welcoming place that values the partnership with our parents deeply. Our mission is clear: to meet our students' needs and provide them with a top-notch education. To achieve this, we are focusing on one critical aspect—student attendance.

We recognize the vital importance of daily attendance in ensuring that our students don't miss out on the valuable learning opportunities we offer.

However, we face challenges in this regard, particularly when it comes to chronic absenteeism. It's a hurdle we're determined to overcome.

We believe that every child here has the potential for academic excellence, and all they need is a little encouragement and support. That's where you come in. We're seeking your help to improve our attendance rates and, in turn, the academic outcomes for our students.

That's why we're reaching out to anyone willing to support our beloved school. Your contribution, big or small, can make a significant difference in the lives of our wonderful kids by providing us with tempting incentives, such as fidgets and coloring books, and snacks. With your help, we can create an environment where attendance is not just a duty but a source of pride and achievement for our students.

Together, we can empower these young minds to reach their full potential, fostering a brighter future for our community. Thank you for considering being a part of our journey to enhance education and attendance at HES. Your support means the world to us and the promising futures of our students.
