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

My students meet certain criteria to be in the Job's For America's Graduate's (JAG) Program. Criteria such as homelessness, possible substance abuse, mental health barriers, poor academic performance and lack of parental support. Students are mostly high risk for dropping out of school or not on the pathway for higher education. These students thrive in my JAG classroom as they have the support needed to look and feel successful at our school.

Part of the JAG initiatives is giving back to the community.

The schools JAG program has created a Community Clothing Closet that they maintain and distribute clothing to students in need. The closet helps the entire school. We also, furnish hygiene products and sanitary items. The facility and staff at our school use this closet daily to cloth and provide hygiene product to our most venerable students to prevent bullying and the feeling of sadness due to conditions beyond their control.

My Project

Students will actively engage with peers to practice communication skills, working together as an effective team, utilize reasoning skills, learn coping skills and conflict resolution: The large supplies will house community service projects that our students collect in the community care closet. Storage is needed when collecting items to distribute when working in the community doing community service. Students learning environment needs to be neat and tidy to reinforce organization skills and to manage their time most effectively. Items will be housed at school and used in the JAG classroom.
