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 Students

My students are an incredibly diverse population. They come from many different cultures and backgrounds. I have many students that have a primary language other than English.

Many of my students receive free or reduced-price lunch; this allows them to have free or reduced cost breakfast as well, but they are not able to actually get to school early enough every day to utilize this opportunity.

They work incredibly hard and are very attentive. Most of my students are preparing for college, some directly for a career, and a few for the military. We have team members who have parents, relatives, or siblings who have been deployed overseas. We have an award winning JROTC in our school with over 250 members. We are very proud of our military and support our troops with fundraisers, mailings, and packages.

We are trying to create a community of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion within our school and our teams/clubs. The school is so incredibly diverse (religion, ethnicity, socio-economic, single-parent homes, grandparent homes, etc.), with many immigrants.

My Project

Our FIRST Robotics Challenge Team, the Mechanical Mustangs, FIRST MId-Atlantic Team 3314, is competing around the country this spring. We give away buttons at each of the competitions and you collect buttons from other teams. They are a great memento for students and after a few years they will have a collection of fantastic buttons from teams all over the world.

In the past, we have made our own buttons; after analyzing the cost of printing, supplies, and time to actually make them, it is much more economical for us to simply have them fabricated for us.

Our students are incredibly dedicated to the team and they spend a lot of time designing, fabricating, and programming. We don't want to waste time making buttons this season and Dr. Don's Buttons are of a high quality and very economical.
