Celebrating 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 are high school juniors and seniors who are simultaneously excited for and terrified by the prospect of college. In order to help them prepare for the college application process, I work closely with them to not only help with the logistics of such a complicated process but provide support and motivation throughout.
My students have big plans for college and their lives.
They want to go on to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, and investment bankers. They have only a short year until they will have to navigate the world outside of the school that many of them have known since sixth grade. I want to ensure that they are given all the resources necessary for them to transition from high school to college and beyond.
My Project
What a confusing and unpredictable year this has been! My students were forced to endure remote learning towards the end of the school year and now many of the will be returning back to school in just a few short weeks. While some students will opt to continue their schooling from home, many of them will be returning to school in a hybrid model: they will be remote three days a week while the other two days, they will be in school.
As they return back to school, my students deserve to feel safe.
Unfortunately, our school district has cut a program for teachers providing them funding to buy items for their classroom, such as cleaning supplies. This year in particular, it is essential to have supplies to provide to our students so they may feel safer as they return back to school. Having the ability to give each student hand sanitizer will help them have something small that will help them feel safe as they commute and engage in school.
