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

Our students are brilliantly resilient scholars who come from immigrant, blue-collar working households close to downtown LA. Many of them attend school year-round to catch up on reading and writing skills. These students tirelessly work toward fluency in English while continuing to persevere through the struggles of their community. The culture we are promoting at our school is college readiness through the use of AVID strategies such as physical organization, note taking, and paraphrasing. Students show up every day ready to tackle the days' objectives and build community with one another.

My Project

Can you concentrate when your nose is raw from blowing it with toilet paper? How about chapped lips? My students come from communities where survival is key. Many times, parents may not have the means to be able to provide these items for their children. The season is upon us for the passing of germs and viruses.

To help keep us clean and safe Clorox wipes, deodorant, hand sanitizer, and hygiene kits are essential for our classroom.

These items will allow my students to concentrate on learning and working instead of basic essentials. Our classroom will be brighter and cozier with clean floors and desks, the proper emergency kit, and soft Kleenex.
