Love and Peace

Help me give my students in Title I schools enriching opportunities because they face significant challenges due to limited funding, which restricts access to enriching opportunities.

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 Project

Racial injustice manifests in numerous ways, affecting many individuals and communities. Students in Title I schools often face significant challenges due to limited funding, which restricts access to enriching opportunities. This project aims to foster empathy and understanding among students as they learn about racial injustices and explore the beauty of diversity in all its dimensions.

By engaging with these important topics, we encourage a loving and caring environment where students can connect, reflect, and grow together.

Our students need to learn about diversity and embrace all that can show about love and peace. Please help you obtain multicultural crayons, a time timer, and skin tone markers.

Ms. Gutierrez Catherine & Count Basie Middle School 72 Grades 6-8
