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 Project
Our school is an urban middle school in southeastern San Diego. We are an equity focused school. More than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and 78% come from low-income households. We have a richly diverse student population. Our diversity is inclusive of different ethnicities, religions, cultural backgrounds, social beliefs, and gender identities. Over 20% of our students are multilingual learners, another 20% require special education services and another 20% are homeless. We are underfunded, under-loved and need your support.
60 of our fantastic students are voluntarily giving up 5 weeks of their summer to engage in building their mathematical skills and explore the field of STEAM.
The program we are partnering with did not include sports equipment in our budget, and our students will need some breaks and fun activities to get them through day! We want our students to be able to have some time outdoors to re-energize. This equipment will also be used during the regular school year hours.
Our students love learning and engaging in the math work. They are our future, so please help me in giving them the best summer education they deserve!
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
