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

One of the biggest demands of our students on campus is snacks. Students frequently ask teachers and their peers for snacks. I want to provide a space for BSA students to get the snacks they need and also have snacks at our after-school meetings.

Black Student Association is a relatively new group established in the 2022-2023 school year to educate students on diversity, build a sense of community, and encourage cultural identity.

Last year, we visited Texas Southern University, a local HBCU, and hosted the Black History Month celebration. As time progresses, I would like to help the group explore more parts of Black History in Texas.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
