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

My students are amazing young teenagers! Most of these students reside in a poor, urban area that is grossly underfunded and, in some areas, lacking even the most basic of needs. Although many of them come from tough neighborhoods and lifestyles, they are resilient, smart, and full of life.

They are self-directed learners who yearn to know more about their past so they can change their future.

They are inquisitive, creative and thrive on learning new things. They have changed my world perhaps more than I have changed theirs. They will be the historians of the future; making their mark on society and changing the world for the better.

My Project

My school district is grossly under-funded and does not provide transportation to many of my students. Many can't afford coats, gloves, scarves or boots.

Many of my students have to walk to school when it is very cold or rainy.

I try to provide them with warm drinks to warm their cold hands and cold tummies. The use of these drinks will help me to provide them with a way to start their morning on a positive note and be ready to learn in their classrooms.

Your donation will go along way in keeping my students feeling warm.
