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

Building a Strong Foundation for Our Future

In our bilingual school, many of our young students are navigating multiple languages and cultures - balancing the richness of their heritage with the demands of learning a new language.

These children may face challenges such as learning disabilities and motor skills difficulties, but they bring immense strength and potential to our classrooms. With the right resources, we can help them thrive in both their native language and English, celebrating their unique cultural identities.

Many of our students come from immigrant families facing significant economic challenges and limited resources. Despite these obstacles, they show up every day with hope and determination. By providing them with the tools they need to succeed, we invest not just in their education, but in the future of our diverse community. Education is the key to breaking down barriers and creating opportunities for all students, and with your support, we can help these young learners excel.

This project will provide our early elementary classrooms with three essential resources: picture dictionaries to bridge the language gap, dyslexia reading support materials for struggling readers, and fine motor skills tools for children who need extra help with writing and physical coordination. These resources are critical to ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has the tools to succeed academically and develop vital life skills.

Our goal is to give these children a strong foundation by supporting their language development, literacy, and motor skills. By doing so, we can boost their confidence and equip them to excel in school and beyond. With your generosity, we can provide the resources they need to unlock their full potential and build a brighter future for themselves and their families. Education is the key, and together, we can give these students the chance they deserve.
