Celebrating 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
"Do we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of Northern Philadelphia.
The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing, and share with their peers.
They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I struggle to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support holistic learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.
My Project
This project is another piece to my series that will provide clothing essentials for the students at my school. We serve students that are ages 5-10 years of age, who each have varying needs. Some of our younger students may have a bathroom accident and are in need of a change of clothes, when the family is unavailable.
We also have students whose families are experiencing economic hardship and are in need of support.
Providing basics like clean socks and underwear are often items that are overlooked, but are crucial for the wellbeing of our students. Sometimes I'll see students who aren't wearing any socks and as we transition to fall, having socks available at the school would help students want to be at school, feel safe, warm, and cared for. Not only will our students feel relieved having clean socks and underwear, it will serve as a placeholder while the staff at our school work together to secure other means to assist our families.
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
