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
Resilient, positive, compassionate, and driven describe the scholars at my middle school. The obstacles the scholars have to overcome simply to make it to school would have many adults think of quitting and yet they succeed and thrive. The middle school is located in one of the poorest and most under-served neighborhoods in a large, rich city. They represent an array of abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities. All of their differences unite them together in a beautiful way. The school has formed a strong community in which no scholar falls through the cracks and all have a chance at academic and social success.
My Project
Teens don't like to read. Teens are always on their phones. Teens do not have social skills! Not True! Not true at all. Book clubs are the most popular club at my school and it is not because of chocolate chip banana bread either!
Teens like to talk about good books.
We meet twice a month in all the grade levels to eat, talk about the book, ask questions about life, and build community. The students love getting a book too to put in their new home library which is vital in our traditionally underserved school. As our young people figure out who they are books will be a guide.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
