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

SC Elementary School District has a Family Resource Center that serves homeless and foster youth. Last school year, 2018-2019, our staff identified 3,360+ homeless students. This is over 40% of our district!

Students receive school clothing or uniforms, sweater or coat, socks, shoes, belts, backpacks, school supplies, personal hygiene items (toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush/comb, soap/washcloth), reading books, non-perishable food, blankets, tarps, umbrellas, alarm clocks, bus passes, shower passes, and other resources to help ensure success and continuity in their educational process.

Hope is also an important aspect of what our Family Resource Center provides to these needy families. Hope creates an idea that goals can be achieved. The Center provides a seed of hope to the children creating a desire in them to do their best in school and understand that they too have an opportunity to go to college, to have a career, and to end the poverty they are experiencing as children when they are adults. This supporting environment helps children to understand their self-worth and heighten their self-esteem. The program offers a truth to homeless/foster children that they desperately need to know...that every child in America has a right & opportunity to achieve their dreams through education.

My Project

Many homeless children fall behind in school. This creates frustration in the children, the feeling of inadequacy, truancy, anger, and a downhill slope in self-esteem and school grades. It is the goal of our program to lift these children up by providing them with basic school supplies and support that will level the field for them to enrich their learning. We are requesting flashcards in order for our homeless students living in shelters to be able to supplement their distance learning. These flashcards will also help to engage the family in learning.

Students attending school, even virtually, fully equipped experience a huge boost in morale overall.

Homeless children are then less self-conscious and can focus their energy on learning.

We reach out to the community for the sake of our homeless children in Salinas. Partners like you help us to make a difference in the lives of people in great need. For that and your heart we are so very thankful.
