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.
My Project
My hardworking and resilient students have all immigrated to the United States. They now live in one of the lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods in Oakland. Most do not have a lot of financial freedom when it comes to making purchases, whether they are essential or not. Our school has many students who reside in shelters, foster homes, or numerous sponsors’ homes. In addition, many students did not have access to regular dental care in their home countries and suffer from the long-term effects of not keeping up with dental hygiene.
Help provide students with dental hygiene tools so that they are confident when they smile!
All toothbrushes, floss, mouthwash, and toothpaste will be equitably distributed through our school's community closet (in which the highest-need students are identified to bring home items for their families in need).
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
