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 are amazing young teenagers! Most of these students reside in a poor, urban area that is grossly underfunded and, in some areas, lacking even the most basic of needs. Although many of them come from tough neighborhoods and lifestyles, they are resilient, smart, and full of life.
They are self-directed learners who yearn to know more about their past so they can change their future.
They are inquisitive, creative and thrive on learning new things. They have changed my world perhaps more than I have changed theirs. They will be the historians of the future; making their mark on society and changing the world for the better.
My Project
My students come to school afraid, anxious and worried about contracting Covid 19. My district does not provide masks for the students. Many of them come to school with a mask that is torn, dirty or damaged.
Face masks combined with other preventive measures, such as getting vaccinated, frequent hand-washing and physical distancing, can help slow the spread of the virus.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends fabric masks for the general public. Students who haven’t been fully vaccinated should continue to wear face masks in indoor public places and outdoors where there is a high risk of COVID-19 transmission, such as crowded events or large gatherings.
By donating to this project, you will help my students feel safe about coming to school.
More than half of students from low‑income households
