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 strategies such as physical organization, note-taking, and paraphrasing.

Students show up every day ready to tackle the day's objectives and build community with one another.

My Project

We all need a little comfort here and there, especially in times such as these. When we return to school, I want students to feel happy to be back and most importantly, SAFE. School is supposed to be a place where kids are able to be free and creative.

Cleaning wipes, air purifiers, and flexible seating chairs will help them be able to fully be present in a time of uncertainty.

These supplies will allow students the autonomy to work and learn. Now, more than ever, children need adults to demonstrate strong leadership so that we can all move forward.
