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 love science! They want to explore, investigate, experiment and invent, but they lack the financial resources at home and at school that provide beyond the basics.
Experiences, motivation, knowledge and resources are VERY important for my students to break the cycle of poverty that is in their community.
My students and their families want them to do well in school, they just need opportunities. Help my students become a future biologist, or inventor, or engineer, or agriculturalist or whatever other career that interests them!
My diverse students are multilingual--English, Spanish, Mam, Qanjobal--and most come from working-class families. Many live with single parents, guardians, grandparents or multi-household families. Regardless, their families say they want their kids to do better than they did.
My Project
This year my students and I have been spending more time outside doing science field investigations. We've learned a lot, but we've also noticed how much trash--big and small--is present around our school and in other natural areas near our school.
Help my students become good stewards of their beautiful community and natural environment by purchasing equipment that will help them pick up trash safely.
They have already expressed a willingness to help, now they just need some special equipment.
We already have grocery bags and buckets with handles for the trash, but we need trash grabbers and gloves to keep my students' hands clean and safe. I would like for this to be a regular weekly activity for my students so that it becomes a habit rather than a one-time occassion.
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
