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 students are high-risk students. The students that we serve have been referred to our school for behavioral problems, and or are lacking credits to graduate. We believe that the key to effectively supporting at-risk students is to create opportunities for them to develop a trusting relationship with an adult at school.

We feel by teaching our students to give back to their community, it will provide them a life long experience and helping them to grow as a person, to better understand how you fit into the world around you.

My Project

The mission of this project is to involve our students and teach our students the importance of making a difference is people's lives. The focus will be the making of double-lined "no sew" blankets for infants and or toddlers for the Legacy Pregnancy Resource Center, in Hobbs, New Mexico. This project will provide students with the exposure to teamwork as well as a means of giving back to the community. Teachers will facilitate instructional directions to follow. Overall, teens will feel empowered through volunteer participation while sharing their skills. Students will also gain a hands on approach to learning while practicing skills that may carry over as a life long learning experience.
