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 school is a dual-language community school that serves ECE through sixth-grade students. We provide a rigorous bilingual academic program that prepares all of our students for global citizenship in the 21st-century. In the school, 97% of our student population participates in the free or reduced-price lunch program. The student body is 91% Latino/Hispanic, 4% Black, 3% White, and 2% Asian.

My students love to learn and have the desire to learn at the beginning of their day.

My students struggle with reading, but they strive to grow as readers each and every day.

My Project

Once school is back in session, not only will students be coming in but so will the arrival of many students is also the arrival of many germs!

That is why I have requested several an air purifiers for our classrooms.

I will also use the air purifier to get rid of the mold smell that haunts our building. I will provide an one air purifier to each classroom our wing of our school. Our building is old and could use some clean air. With your help, I can combat some of these germs and help keep students clean and healthy.
