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

My students are great full of dreams. Despite being teen parents, they come to school eager to learn and participate in class. However, they are often held back by a lack of essential resources such as food for their babies, clothing, baby items, diapers, wipes, hygiene, and household items. To provide for their children and themselves has became tough and over whelming, many of them leave the classrooms early because a part-time or full-time job.

These essential materials provided, will keep my students in school, and focus on the most important thing which is to obtain their diploma.
