Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Before you walk into our school, you may see on paper that we are a Title I school with a majority of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

We've struggled through Hurricane Harvey and Covid-19 and have limited resources for our students.

However, what you will see in person is a dynamic group of young, driven leaders, who through "The Leader in Me" process are making their mark in our world. We are a Lighthouse Leader in Me/Magnet Fine Arts school, which has helped transform all of our students into global thinkers who believe they can do anything they set their minds to. My students are dedicated and hard working leaders.

My Project

We are so excited to return to authentic in person after a year and a half of virtual and hybird learning. Our students are finding it very difficult to transition back in to school. They are coming from a sedentary virtual environment.

We want to invigorate them by offering multiple opportunities to socialize exercise by offering them a variety of different kinesthetic activities.

We believe these activities will help our students bond and synergize with each other. We believe that after they get their bodies moving, they'll get their brains moving.
