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
My goal is to offer my students the opportunity to engage with the inspiring memoir of astronaut José Hernández Moreno, a Mexican-American who rose from humble beginnings as a migrant farmworker to become a NASA astronaut. His journey embodies the essence of perseverance, ambition, and the belief that no dream is too big. This book will be an integral part of our school wide theme, "Reach for the Stars," which seeks to inspire all students to pursue their dreams and reach their full potential. This will help our school become a more inclusive place for our students and families.
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
