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

Working in the poorest congressional district in the country, my students come in at a wide range of academic levels. As a school, we spend a lot of timing working to address their academic needs but we also prioritize socio-emotional and extra-curricular learning. Our students are invested in all sorts of after-school activities such as the debate team, student government, and our drama program among many others.

They are enthusiastic, smart, and hard-working, they just need your help to make sure they get the kind of well-rounded education they deserve.

My Project

The omicron wave has hit New York hard and our students are no exception. Studies show that cloth and surgical masks are much less effective against omicron however they are all that our school is able to provide.

Many of my students live in small apartments with elderly or high-risk family members.

Our neighborhood has one of the highest positivity rates in the city and our classrooms are small. While we keep the windows open and do everything we can to increase ventilation KN95 masks for the students would make a huge difference. Please help us purchase high-quality KN95 masks for our 8th graders in order to minimize the risk of in-school transmission.
