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 Project

In our resilient Title I school, located in a vibrant yet challenging community, our students are kindred spirits on a mission of love. In our diverse family of learners we will share stories about compassion and immigration. This project will help my students show compassion for each other by putting together care packages of towels, cups, and socks for each of our newcomers. Students will learn to cherish, respect, and understand the perspective and needs of our newcomers through classroom conversations and stories.

Students will work to make care packages with basic necessities to help bring some much needed basic items to the newcomers families in our classroom who could really use the extra help.

Through this collective effort my students will spread health and wellness through compassion. Thank you so much for your support!
