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 Students

I teach two groups of 6th grade Math and Social Studies students. Our school is located in a low-income/high-crime area. I see that my students are faced with several challenges, both inside and outside the classroom. However, I do all that I can to provide an environment that is consistent, fun and engaging so they can get the most out of their days in my room.

My students are creative, clever, and very unique.

They like to move and they love to receive lots of positive attention. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households, some from non English-speaking families. They all receive a free breakfast and lunch based on their socioeconomic status.

My Project

My students are at a critical age where personal hygiene items have become a necessity. However, many of my students are lacking these supplies. I would like to be able to have these items available to my students to take home and use as needed. Such items that are requested are tooth paste and floss picks, baby powder and powder spray. Nails clippers and medical items such as Advil and Tums.

Students have enough stress in their lives.

I want to be able to relieve part of their stress so they can come to school focused, alert, and ready to learn.
