It's A Party!! A Pizza Party!!

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

Our students are a full spectrum with a diverse campus in race, culture, socioeconomic status, and interests. Our campus serves approximately 635 students, grades 7th thru 8th and between the ages of 12 to 14. Ethnically our students are approximately 87% minorities with 45% being Latin American, 26% African American, and 13% Asian and Pacific Islander. 25% of our students are currently English Language Learners.

We have 10% of our population receiving services from our Special Education department.

We have students coming from all over the district including many who are also English Language Learners. Our students come from a variety of cultures and socio-economic levels which means that most students have limited access to technology at home.

My Project

We are teaching our student government to see a need and fill a need. While resources can be and will be limited at times if we think outside the box we can set and achieve goals. One of the ways to achieve some of our goals is to have a fundraiser. After some research they found that pizza is a high profit meal. They want a pizza oven to hold fundraisers to raise money for school resources.

Setting and achieving goals develops a strong and driven mindset.

The students have a goal of improving our fitness room and thought a pizza oven would be great for that. Its also can bring together a school community with pizza parties and fun pizza making events.
