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

Our school is a small Title I high school located in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, NY. We are located in "Asthma Alley," and sandwiched between two major urban bridges - the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.

All of my students are recent arrivals to the United States and English language learners.

They come from every part of the globe seeking a new life of opportunity and freedom here in the United States. They come with the hope that education will allow them to meet their full potential.

Many are on public assistance; many others are barely surviving. Yet, my students are expected to meet the same educational standards as more affluent students of New York.

My Project

We go through a lot of days at school and offer supplies every semester. Often, students lose or forget to bring in basic supplies like pens and pencils. Some simply cannot afford to purchase the needed supplies. This cost money that our students cannot afford to lay out. My task is to eliminate this issue. Hence, in this project, I am requesting for pens and pencils, and other office supplies.

Your act of kindness and generosity will go a long way in eliminating this obstacle to the learning process and will be long remembered by our students.

Students will also know that there are people in their community who care about them and their education.

Please help me help those most in need. Help me make learning fun and engaging.

Thank you for your generosity.
