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.
Pueblo Vista Elementary is a school with mainly low income, Hispanic students. Most of the students' parents work two or more jobs to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. Yet, these students come to school everyday and work very hard to get an education.
This year the 5th grade students will participate in the outdoor education program. I am determined to give these children this opportunity. I have taken a class to this outdoor education program in the past and know the positive effect it can have on any student. It is an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives. They will attend a 5 day camp in Yosemite Valley at the Yosemite Institute. There, they will learn about environmental science, habitats of animals and the importance of repecting our world. They will also learn about themselves as this will be ther first time many of the students will be away from their families. It is quite an experience for them.
Currently, I am heading the fundraising for the 5th grade's outdoor education experience. We have been fundraising for the past year for this trip. Although we have taken the initiative to fundraise for all of our students to participate, we have not been able to raise enough money to properly help these students pay their entire way there. Our fundraising campaign has resulted in enough funds to pay for half of the students' costs. Unfortunately, there is a group of four students who are not able to afford the cost of the trip. These students have been wroking very hard at fundraising and their parents are helping out where they can. I am hoping to receive enough for these four students to participate with the rest of their classmates in the outdoor education experience.
My students and I thank you in advance.
