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

Sometimes all it takes is a small opportunity to change the course of a young child's life. At our school, we give our students a head start to pursue endeavors after high school by helping them receive their associate's degree at the same time as their high school diploma.

Many of our students are first-generation college students who have sacrificed being in a traditional high school with extracurricular activities such as sports and band in order to get a head start on their college degrees.

Our students take college courses simultaneously with their high school courses. We try to offer as many activities as possible in order for our students to find a balance between their rigorous academics and extracurricular activities. Our staff tries to provide our students with fun activities that help them unwind, relax and decompress. In addition, we are doing everything we can to help our school grow and have the best learning environment and experiences for our students.

My Project

Our Student Council will use these cotton candy and popcorn supplies to sponsor carnival events, movie nights, and other events at our school throughout the year. Being both a college and high school student at the same time creates plenty of stress for our students. To help alleviate some stress from school, home and work, Student Council will plan and sponsor events that will help our students unwind and have fun. These events will help our students take a break from their hectic academic and life schedule and unwind a bit.

Our students will learn to balance their rigorous academics with unwinding and having fun.

In addition to learning how to find balance with their academics and extracurricular activities, these students will also learn event-planning and budgeting skills when sponsoring these events throughout the year.

Your donations will not only make an impact on the students in our Student Council. Your donations will impact our entire school and community.
