Celebrating 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
My students are curious, action-oriented, and brave, taking on the complexities of health disparities with curiosity and creativity. They are bravely navigating their teenage years in the chaotic and often scary face of a global pandemic. Adapting to this during the already intense experience of puberty and adolescence is unique and challenging.
Health class is a year-long experience where students gain foundational knowledge of public health through an equity lens at our culturally, racially, and linguistically diverse urban high school.
All 9th graders take this course, and they tackle topics such as nutrition, consent, sexual health, youth healthcare rights, reproductive justice, mental health, violence prevention, and beyond. They develop practical skills through CPR and First Aid training, communication workshops, and harm reduction response techniques.
My Project
During 90 minute classes students get thirsty! We are always talking about hydration in Health class; help students make the connection between hydration and wellness by ensuring there is access to fresh, filtered water on tap!
Not only is daily hydration a topic of Health class, students get chances to make their own Spa Water as a part of our lesson series about less soda and more water.
We are in an old building and many students don't want to drink from the water fountain, but are happy to bring water bottles - help them have access to refreshing water to fill their bottles with!
More than three‑quarters 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
