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 class is composed of 55 fifth graders in a general education class, with students with IEP and ELL learners and special education students such as autism.

A typical day in my classroom looks active.

My students are engaged in learning activities that get them moving, talking to their peers, and asking great questions. You will not see a lot of worksheets in my classroom. My students are learning through hands-on experiences.

I teach in a Title I school.

My fifth-grade students come from very diverse families. I am excited to share that my school is a genuinely diverse community. Not only do students come from varying ethnic backgrounds and places, but the life experiences that they’ve had are incredibly unique. My scholars are creative, thoughtful, and full of excitement!

My students are 9 and 10-year children that love coming to school. When school was closed in the spring of 2020 due to the pandemic not only were the kids wanting to come back but we missed seeing their smiling faces every day.

My Project

Do you remember your favorite holiday meal? Mine was our hot warm meal traditional Christmas Eve dinner! For some of my students, however, there no "regular" traditions; in fact, they are thankful to have any food at all on holidays.

This year for Thanksgiving, our staff and students will pull together to create complete Thanksgiving dinner baskets to deliver to 100% of our student population.

This year we are asking for the help of generous donors like you to ease some of that burden as it is difficult to pull from our already struggling Mott Haven Community. We would like to purchase canned goods like greens, fruit cocktail, seasoning, and dry items like stuffing, pie crust, and aluminum cooking tins, to help send home a complete Thanksgiving dinner in a re-usable laundry basket for our special needs population. Also gift cards so they can buy a turkey.

Each basket will be personally delivered by the student's teacher or another school staff member! This is a wonderful time at our school, of giving and coming together as a community. We just need a little assistance to make it complete! Thank you for your consideration!
