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

Students in our school community have experienced fire disasters firsthand. Most of the students in our school community are from very low-income backgrounds. Some can't afford to have a working fire alarm when landlords do not provide them.

These disasters affect their learning because emotionally the students are worried about how much they could lose, including lives.

Working fire alarms are the most critical component of an escape plan because they give the families and their loved ones an early warning signal that something is wrong.

My goal for this project is to make sure that every family in our school community has a working fire alarm and knows what to do with it by creating a plan in case of a fire.

My students are all special. Most of them are newcomers to the U.S. and many live in apartments where three to four families live together. I would love to provide every family with a working fire alarm for safety. Fire disasters seriously disrupt their learning.
