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

Our school emphasizes the respect of self and others. This encompasses discipline and high expectations as well as activism and compassion. The kids know they will be agents of change and follow our school motto, "Be the change you want to see in the world." - Mahatma Gandhi

We are classified as a "highest poverty" school and the kids at our school are brilliant.

They deserve excellent educational resources. Although my kids may lack financial resources, they have an incredible work ethic and desire to learn. We are a full Title I school; a vast majority of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunches.

Our students may lack the material privileges that other American children are fortunate to have, but they certainly make up for it with talent, fortitude, and sheer intelligence. We live in a world where our youth are simply not provided with enough quality resources to shine; your donation will make the dream of a bright future come true.

My Project

Students at this young age love sensory objects. They love those colorful pop it toys and I think these sensory stress balls will really help them cope with stress in the classroom and at home. Mental health has really become an issue during this pandemic and many of my students are really struggling.

These sensory objects can really help kids with worry, fear, and anxiety.

These awesome soothing, sensory tools can help kids to alleviate stress. This is especially important right now since we are wearing masks all day and getting tested weekly at school.
