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 a first year first grade teacher that just graduated in the Spring. Kempton Street Literacy Academy is a Preschool through 6th grade community school with a 50/50 Dual Language Immersion strand in K-6th. As I begin to get into my very first classroom, I want to provide enough school supplies for students to utelize throughout the school year.

My goal for this project is to provide classroom supplies for students so that their parents have something less to worry about considering we are a title 1 school.

Our student population is about 620+. We are 75% Latinos, 10% Black, 10% White, and the remainder a mix of Asian, Filipino, Pacific Islander or two or more races. 92% of our families are socioeconomically disadvantaged and we struggle with 51% chronic absenteeism. Our students should all feel equal when it comes to the supplies and resources that are provided for them because they are all important and special.

I appreciate you for taking the time to read a bit about our story. Thank you in advance!
