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
I work with recently arrived students from all around the world. I have seen the growth of students from 9th to 12th grade. I am amazed by their eagerness to learn and grow even though they are struggling to get by. 60-70% of the students I work with go to school and have a job on the side. They are committed to learning as well as supporting their family survive living in the Bay Area. I love coming into work and seeing students work.
My Project
Most students often work, aside from going to school, just to make ends meet. Although students work, they often lack extra funds for food. When students are hungry, it is hard for them to focus in class. With these snacks, I will be able to provide students with something to get them through the period. I also asked for soup cups. Although they are not ideal or healthy, it is something students can take on the go if they do not have money for food at home. Students will tell me they only eat snacks provided at school not school lunch.
