Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

I work at a very special Title I high school. The majority of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch and come from a home where English is not the predominant language spoken at home!

High school will look very different this year and I would like to encourage students to stay safe and healthy by providing personal water bottles.

New safety protocols have been enforced and students will be wearing masks all day long and will definitely need to stay hydrated. In order to stop the spread of the virus, students will reuse their water bottles and sanitize them at the end of each day!

Research indicates that your brain is mostly water so drinking it helps improve concentration and cognition as well as help to balance mood and emotions. With new classroom routines implemented, instruction will be much smoother if each student has their own water bottle and holder. Having a water bottle within reach encourages students to drink more water. Think of all the health benefits that occur when water is readily available!
