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 scholars are persistent, determined souls who desperately want to succeed in life. The school library media center was their connection and go-to spot to make sense of the pressure of academics, cliches, and the stress of their environment and home lives. This distance learning project will help foster a sense of accomplishment and community. Scholars will celebrate their achievements. Presently, all children are not in school as the district has been closed since March.

Kids are learning from home and many are in small apartments, public housing and have very limited space with multiple family members.

Currently, they have limited resources. The requested supplies will enable them to celebrate graduation and reaching a milestone in their lives. These supplies will go to a handful of library patrons who were regulars in the school library and depended on it as a lifeline. These scholars used the library to stay connected as they had limited interactions with others their own age.

My Project

2020 has been a different year for our graduating class. All the kids have worked very hard. For some of them, this might have been the only upper-level graduation they will have had. And it was a drive-through graduation. To highlight and make their graduating year special, I will use the needles and paint to make and decorate graduation sashes. The frames will be used to showcase special awards dedicated to them for persistence and resilience. Later, they can use the frames to hold their diplomas when they want to display them on their walls.

As scholars coming from an economically suppressed background, they have a lot to be proud of by becoming high school graduates.

The requested supplies will highlight their achievements.

Thank you for your time, consideration, and support of public school children. When you care about them, you support equity and care about making our future better.
