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

My school is located in the South Bronx of New York City. It is a challenging neighborhood in which to grow up, but my students are vibrant and strong and they can succeed despite the odds. 95% of our students are Latinx or Black. Many are children of immigrants. They help their parents assimilate into American society while taking care of their school work and their siblings. With every generation that makes it, they will in fact change those odds for the generations that come after them.

My Project

I would like to have another large gym bag for groups of students to carry an assortment of volleyballs, soccer balls, and basketballs out to the yard. It is much easier to have all the balls consolidated in a large bag rather than have individual students carrying balls which they tend to dribble or throw as we walk through the halls and stairways to get outside. In addition to the large gym bag, I would like each of my students to have an individual gym bag to carry their personal belongings such as a change of clothes, gloves, knee pads, and other accessories needed for their particular sports.
