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 Students
Resilient, positive, compassionate, and driven describe the scholars at my middle school. The obstacles the scholars have to overcome simply to make it to school would have many adults think of quitting and yet they succeed and thrive. The middle school is located in one of the poorest and most under-served neighborhoods in a large, rich city. They represent an array of abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities. All of their differences unite them together in a beautiful way. The school has formed a strong community in which no scholar falls through the cracks and all have a chance at academic and social success.
My Project
It has been 18 months since students have been in school and in that time the library has been remodeled. It is beautiful with lots of great books. The only problem is the outdated, wobbly, mismatched furniture.
New rugs and seating will make the library an engaging and fun place to learn and relax.
After the long closure, I want students to have a place that is welcoming, warm and safe to go if they are feeling overwhelmed or anxious.
A safe place for students to go will help them in these uncertain times to recharge and be ready to learn in their classes throughout the day.
