FULLY FUNDED! Mr. S. Rodriguez's classroom raised $1,958
This project is fully funded
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
I teach in the South Bronx at a District 75 school. District 75 provides highly specialized instructional support for students with significant challenges, such as autism spectrum disorders, significant cognitive delays, emotional disturbances, sensory impairments, and multiple disabilities.
Our school population consists of students from grades K -12 across seven school sites and between all of our sites we have about 50 students who currently live in temporary housing.
Homelessness can have a severe negative impact on a student’s social-emotional well-being, mental health and academic achievement. However, our scholars are supper motivated and eager to learn. Despite their circumstances, they are in school every day ready to take on the challenges.
My Project
One of the most devastating effects of COVID-19 has been the sheer number of people it has left without reliable access to affordable, nutritious food. Even prior to the pandemic, Feeding America estimated about 11.1% of New York State residents and 16.9% of children experienced food insecurity, meaning they at times lacked access to enough food for an active, healthy life. As a result about one in five children in the Bronx and Brooklyn experienced food insecurity, compared to about one in seven children in Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.
This Thanksgiving, as many of us sit with our families to enjoy a delicious hot meal, there are students and their families living in temporary housing who will struggle to do the same.
Together let’s give thanks to students for enduring the last year and half in this pandemic with the ingredients for a heartwarming meal this thanksgiving. All foods requested will be presented to students and their families in a beautiful gift bag along with a thank you note from us to them for all that they have accomplished.
Our students are already homeless, they don’t need the worry of not knowing when they will have their next meal this holiday season. Please invest in us!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
