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

Our students live in a high poverty and high crime city. In their daily lives, they face numerous challenges and often are at a disadvantage. Despite their hurdles, our students work hard to achieve a high school diploma not only to graduate but to enter college. Many are the first in their families to even earn a high school diploma. They have great drive and determination. My students have a never-give-up attitude and constantly strive for success both in and out of the classroom. Many students who have already graduated are in the area and succeed in life just due to the lessons they learned while in our school.

The building I teach at does not have a gym and requires our students to go to walk across city streets in the elements to have any gym time.

This cuts down on the amount of time they have for physical education. Often, there are district wide assemblies or pep rallies and we must instruct phys ed in the classroom. With the use of indoor activity supplies, the students will more easily participate in appropriate physical education activities.

My Project

I would like to get a marker set and construction paper for my students. I am teaching 4th-8th health and poster projects are very popular with my students.

The markers have been well used and they are now they mostly dried up and difficult to color.

By having brand new markers and paper the students will be able to better complete there health projects.

Thank you for taking the time to look and donate to this project. I look forward to your donations and receiving the brand new markers. I really appreciate your willingness to donate to my 4th through 8th-grade health classes.
