My students need one of the most old fashioned & necessary tools for school: paper. We do embrace technology & use online learning websites, but we still need to do paper & pencil work to learn.
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 and families are ready to learn and ready to succeed, supported by strong community involvement and pride in their families, heritage and school. Our school population is 95% Hispanic, with nearly 41% learning English as a Second Language (ESL). Families and teachers prepare students for the pathway to college and career, which is key for our students: the average income for residents within the school's zip code is significantly less than the state's average.
Despite, and often because of, such challenges, our students eagerly participate in both bilingual and monolingual curricula, along with many other opportunities for student growth including technology and engineering projects, ballroom dance, and after school wrap-around programs.
Our attendance is excellent because our students come here to learn and succeed.
My Project
Our principal is savvy as can be regarding our budget and did, in fact, provide each classroom with a box of paper in September. Parents have also chipped in and donated Kleenex, paper, and hand sanitizer. We have been as conservative as possible with supplies, but we are on our last ream of paper and it's not even December, yet. We reuse our reading packets and print on scrap paper...but we simply need a fresh supply of paper and hope you will help us out for the second half of the school year. With your generosity and two-sided copies, we can make this work.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
