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

Hello! I am going to be a first year teacher in the fall for the 2025-2026 school year. I want to be able to provide a fun and rigorous learning environment for my students! I have loved working with children, seeing them grow and become better readers, mathematicians, scientists, and artists!! I am passionate about having a classroom that represents a diverse set of skills and that treats each other like family! I want to ensure that my students all have opportunities to grow and learn from one another!! Thank you for supporting our future leaders!
