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 are very diverse and attend an NYC Public School located in the Bronx, NY. Many come from immigrant single-parent households and are faced with a host of challenges. I am proud to watch them grow and learn despite the many obstacles they face outside of the classroom.
Most of the students come from impoverished homes and lack many necessary resources that most families take for granted.
Unfortunately, research proves that there is a link between poor academic performance and poverty. Our school becomes their safe haven where they feel valued and respected.
My Project
We would love Dial to fund our classroom to keep us safe and clean.
We will use the supplies to ensure that learning can continue throughout the year.
With all the challenges and obstacles we face, we are grateful to Dial to making this possible. Our classroom will continue to stay open with these cleaning supplies for our hands, desks, and supplies.
It is a challenges to buy these expensive products for our low income students. They deserve the safest products to help them feel that they are important too.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
