My Students

My students attend a very diverse high school in terms of socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. They are very interested in other cultures. We have an Asian Pacific Club, a French Club, a German Club, and Hispanic club.

I spearhead the Hispanic club.

Many of my students have Hispanic roots. They are eager to share their culture among themselves and to promote it in the school community.

They share their culture by displaying artifacts, arts and crafts, food, music, and language.

By doing so, they learn about their own roots and to invite others to join and enrich the school community with their culture.

My Project

My students belong to the Hispanic club. A few times a year, they display ethnic foods, arts and crafts, pictures, and they play music to promote their culture.

It would be wonderful to get folding tables and folding chairs that would be easy to move and store so that they can display the results of their hard work.

My students will learn about promoting their passion, about loving their parents' cultures, and about being inclusive. Similarly, they will hear the Asian Pacific club, the French club, the German club and other ethnic clubs.

Thank you very much for supporting my project.
