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 students are great kids who are often growing up in less than ideal circumstances.
They are a fabulous group of individuals that need help to ensure a wonderful elementary experience.
Many of the students come from broken homes and they witness violence in their streets. My school has many students living in poverty, a high level of students receive special education services, and English is not the first language of a large group of students. Too many days the students come to school not dressed in school uniforms that are warm enough. They wear the same short-sleeved shirt every day because they do not have long-sleeved shirts, sweaters, or sweatshirts to wear during the cold months. Fortunately, most students persevere through their hardships and are able to have an awesome school experience.
My Project
The face masks I am requesting will help keep all of my students safe while doing in school learning. It’s hard to keep one face mask clean all day. Having an extra supply will ease the students’ fear of ruining a mask and not having another one available. Not all students have access to multiple masks and I want to make sure everyone is safe. A monitor in the classroom will allow me to teach remotely and in person at the same time. I will be able to interact with my remote students while at the same time teach my in-class students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
