Class of 2022 Tougher Than You Know

Help me give my students snacks and fun for their long hours and commitment. We have been watching our seniors work hard through the winter months. We like to provide them with snacks that bring them joy.

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

It is up to us to help encourage and support them to reach their goals for graduation. Students have been staying long days to finish work, finish applications and support each other. They have worked hard and deserve the diploma

We are bringing smiles to their late afternoon sessions with kindness that goes a long way.

We are finding ways to encourage the students, especially the graduating seniors.

This year looks like something we have never seen before. Care packages have become essential. Seniors have turned to playing volleyball through the winter months to relieve stress. They take turns, from playing Volleyball to finishing AP work to finishing college applications. We wanted to share with them a little token, a volleyball bracelet to remember these times they supported each other.
