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 are low-income strivers, who have worked against all odds to make it this far into their High School career. They live in a community where education is not the first option, yet they continue to push for a higher education.

My students are hard workers who will prove to anyone that does not believe in them wrong.

They will overcome any type of obstacles and creatively educate themselves and their classmates. There is never a dull moment around my students. Even though they might not have all the resources that a school should have, they make the best of what they have and exceed all expectations that we have as teachers. Their beautiful hearts show when they support education in every way possible.

My Project

The classrooms of our High School are all in the basement of a church. That's right, the basement! Because of this, students struggle to concentrate (especially during summer) because most of them are worrying about how stuffy it's getting down there.

Our students are very good at pulling through and making the best out of any activity no matter how hot it gets down there.

But it would be tremendously helpful to accommodate their needs.

Having a working air conditioner will motivate our students, keep them concentrating on the task in front of them, and make a better learning environment.
