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 attend a public school located in a community in the south Los Angeles area.

Their community is both an economically and socially disadvantaged one.

Many of my students have been impacted in some way by gang violence or crime. Many of my students are not even able to play in their own backyards or community parks. Despite their backgrounds or challenges, all of my students have demonstrated a strong will to attend school daily and to become successful learners. All of them strive to be proud, successful, and college bound.

My Project

If my project is funded, it will be used to help my students in the following ways.

First, my students will learn about improving both their physical and mental health through physical fitness.

They will attend school with fewer absences as they will not miss school due to preventable health problems. My students will also be more self-confident and successful, which will lead to better study habits and grades.

Second, my students will become better citizens as a result of positive sportsmanship that they will learn through sports such as soccer and basketball. They will learn that teamwork on the court will give them the skills needed to be successful individuals who work together to better their communities.
