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 a full spectrum with a diverse campus in race, culture, socioeconomic status, and interests. Our campus serves approximately 635 students, grades 7th thru 8th and between the ages of 12 to 14. Ethnically our students are approximately 87% minorities with 45% being Latin American, 26% African American, and 13% Asian and Pacific Islander. Around 25% of our students are currently English Language Learners. At our school, we have 10% of our population receiving services from our Special Education department. We have students coming from all over the district including many who are also English language learners. Our students come from a variety of cultures and socio-economic levels which also means that many students don't have options outside of school.
Extracurricular Physical Education options for our students need to be supported to encourage a lifetime love of healthy living.
My Project
We are trying to get a ION Audio Block Rocker for our dance team. Our school once a had proud champion dance team we are trying to regain that winning feeling again. We will use the speaker to practice at different places like outside to keep our distance during these Covid times.
The joy of dance is important for all of us.
The dance team loves to learn and perform. Having a portable speaker that charges with wheels gives the options of practice outside at a moment 's notice. The team will be able to travel with the speaker without needing to plug something in. This speaker can give us so much to help us prepare while focusing on our dancing.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
