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

Our school is a visual and performing arts high school where the majority of our students come from low-income families.

What I love about my students is that they are incredibly creative as young artists and also apply themselves to their academic studies.

They are special because even though they have disabilities, they routinely work hard to overcome the difficulties they face. A recent success in the classroom happened when a student with attention and anxiety challenges was able to use technology to help him focus and successfully organize information when working on a lengthy project and research paper.

My Project

My students come from low income families and some are not able to afford three-ply disposable face masks. Since our school district recently required students to wear medical grade disposable masks, I’m seeing students reusing their mask which is unsafe.

I have requested individually wrapped masks for added protection and that they are sanitary when distributed.

They will be so thankful to have masks available to them at school. They will be able to focus on their school work instead of worrying about their safety at school especially during these difficult times.
