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
Standardized testing is a continuous struggle for students across the country - and if you are at all engaged with K-12 education, you know there is a ton of controversy around the discrimination and unfairness of these exams. As a Title 1 DC public school, our students are already walking in to their testing rooms with a ton of these hurdles. However - there are some things we can control with your help! To make it through the next 3 weeks of testing season, we are hoping to give them as much motivation and support as we possibly can.
While they cannot even be comfortable and with their ACTUAL teacher during the test - Sarah, Kenny and I CAN provide them ~goodie bags~ each day with a letter from us, a coloring page to use after the test when they must stay seated and silent, and a snack - especially for morning testing when so many of our students don't have breakfast before arriving.
These few things we CAN control gives them a small advantage. Please consider donating a small amount to help us purchase these snacks and crayons for our kiddos :) We appreciate you!!!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
