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
My Title I, level 1 (lowest 25%) Specific Learning Disabled (SLD), Emotionally/Behavioral Disabled (EBD) high school students are in ICU! Yes, they are enrolled in Intensive Reading Plus (+)! They are terrific student-athletes. More than 90% of the student population qualify for free and/or reduced lunch. Approximately 80% of the students live in single-family homes.
Amazingly some of these youngsters/athletes are homeless, however, they struggle through to success.
They compete on our football and basketball teams which were both state 8A champions. Our high school is one of the three low performing schools in our district. Please help my students move their BUCKETS! In other words, increase their Reading level on our State Assessment.
My Project
Our football team was last years 8A Champions. They are undergoing a Coaching change. Several of the players do not have what they need to compete and protect themselves. My heart was sad when one of my students, a football player shared with me that he played all last season with his sibling's cleats and one cleat had a hole at the bottom.
After identifying the football player in need of cleats and receiver gloves, I was able to identify three cheerleaders that need cheer shoes and practice shorts.
The cheerleaders practice and are outdoors in the heat.
More than half of students from low‑income households
