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

I am an Inclusion Special Education Teacher working in an urban middle school. I work with many amazing students across six different classrooms every day.

My students are smart, determined and full of potential, but many face challenges that go beyond academics.

Many of them come to school without basic supplies like pencils and it is common for students to ask me for something to eat because they are hungry.

I love how resilient they are even when life is hard. Having a some of these supplies and snacks means my students will not have to worry about not being prepared for class and focus on learning. Having snacks will give them energy throughout the day.
