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

My students live in a city that is thriving, but they don't always feel that they are part of that success or able to access it. What they know is that they live in a neighborhood that is changing due to development and gentrification and that other parts of the city celebrate these changes while not acknowledging the impact it has on our students' lives. Too often, these changes are pushing their friends and families out because of rising rent and home prices instead of giving them access to services and opportunities they were long denied.

My students live in a city of opportunity but are denied many of those opportunities everyday.

My job is to make sure that they have the same opportunities in my classroom that students in West Austin have. My students work hard and they are eager to explore, to discover and learn. I work hard to teach them not only academics, but the importance of self-advocacy and determination.

Thank you for your help!

My Project

Thank you for supporting our campus! This small project is to purchase additional supplies for our campus GSA club and for our outdoor learning space.

We are trying to support our students by purchasing disposable pride face masks, a roll of pride stickers, a bird feeder, and extra bird seeds so we don't have to continue fundraising when our supplies run out.

Your continued generosity and support helps our campus to fund extra programs like this that would not be possible given our school district's budget constraints. Thank you for helping our campus and community!
