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
At our small campus, our 9th graders face an environment that is stark and uninviting, lacking in both shade and engaging amenities. This bare and plain setting does not provide opportunities for students to relax, communicate, or socialize effectively. To address this, we are seeking support to introduce board games and interactive activities during lunchtime. These resources will create a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere where students can unwind, build relationships, and foster a sense of community. By enriching their lunchtime experience with engaging activities, we aim to promote positive social interactions and enhance the overall school environment.
Nearly all 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
