Celebrating 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 are an incredibly diverse population. They come from many different cultures and backgrounds. We have over 51 different languages other than English as a primary language spoken at home. Over 51 languages are spoken in our town. Our students work incredibly hard and are very attentive. Most of my students are preparing for college, some directly for a career, and a few for the military.
We are trying to create a community of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion within our school and our teams/clubs.
The school is so incredibly diverse (religion, ethnicity, socio-economic, single-parent homes, grandparent homes, etc.), with many immigrant families finding our town to be a wonderful, inviting home. In addition, we support the local homeless shelters, the homeless bus in a surrounding town, and our temporarily homeless students and families.
The high school has many varsity sports including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, hockey, track and field, gymnastics, swimming, cross country, tennis, softball, wrestling, golf, Special Olympics, dance, and bowling.
Additionally I am a co-mentor for the Mechanical Mustangs FIRST Robotics Team. I work with the team on their team attributes awards, business plan, fundraising, and general science.
My Project
FIRST LEGO League is our middle school robotics program. Each year, our high school team works with our middle school teams to design, program, and build their LEGO Competition robot.
This fall middle school robotics competition season is called City Shaper:
"What if you could build a better world? Where would you begin?
More than ever, we must come together to innovate and solve problems. In FIRST, you are part of a thriving community brimming with inspiration, creativity, and hope for a stronger, more sustainable future—one that’s built better together."
Thank you for helping to support our teams and helping them compete in this amazing STEM competition.
