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 school is full of students who are going to be leading this great country in the next 10+ years. We are located near Denver and draw from various communities, creating a culturally, socioeconomically, and linguistically diverse student body. The students are involved in their learning and consistently monitor their academic mindsets and scholarly identities. As a result, they own their progress, and are aware of their proximity to their short term and long term goals.
My school is open from 6:30am-6:00pm, providing FREE before and after school care.
My students come in early and leave late, so that they can get the support necessary to reach their potential. They are motivated, relentless, and determined to gain increased social status, so that they can have a greater depth of impact on their community and the greater global society.
The students at my school show active empathy and exhibit leadership skills that value leniency in judgement and the power of cultural proficiency. My students are creating a community within our school walls that will improve and enhance our society, allowing the dynamics of difference to be optimized!
My Project
Kids can often tell one another’s socioeconomic status based on the clothing they’re wearing and at times becomes a basis for bullying and discrimination. Universal hoodies will reduce this concern that many students have. Students need to have their safety and security needs meet before they can engage in rigorous learning experiences. Our school serves students whose families oftentimes don't have extra funds each month to spend on school uniforms. While we provide discounted rates on hoodies and loan students hoodies as needed, this project will allow students to have their very own hoodie that they can write their name in. Students who receive a hoodie will be warm, feel safe, and be able to focus on their school work. This will help them focus on and grow their academic mindset which will provide them access to the potential within them.
