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 Project
Every day, I am greeted by twenty-five, wonderful, smiling faces. I feel lucky to have a job that I love. School is the one place where students can come on a daily basis and know that they are safe! My school population is very diverse and challenging, but I wouldn't have it any other way! We are a Title One funded school, with ninety-four percent of our student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunches. Many of my students do not even come with a backpack or supplies. I usually spend a significant amount of my own money buying supplies for the entire year.
Play kitchens are important for kids because they foster a range of developmental skills, including imagination, problem-solving, and communication.
They provide a safe space for imaginative play, encouraging creativity and self-expression, while also simulating real-life activities and helping children understand everyday tasks. This space is used everyday and our current one is no longer fixable.
More than half of 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
