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 Students

Our school is a Title I school with a high percentage of students from low-income families. Additionally, our school has a large population of ELLs (English language learners), which means they are trying to learn the English language while also attempting to meet the expectations of the Colorado Standards set for all high school students across the state, regardless of background.

I would like to provide Gatorade and water to keep my students hydrated to be more focused and on task.

I want them not to be thirsty.

Due to low-income backgrounds, most of our students have not been exposed to many of the experiences often taken for granted by the general population.

Students spend most of their time learning reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and life skills. Each day is a challenge, and we do our best to meet the needs of our students. School is often their happy place, where they grow and learn in a safe, comfortable, healthy, and understanding environment.

My Project

My students will use the Gatorade and water when they are thirsty. Due to Covid, many students do not want to use the regular drinking fountain. They say the spray is gross. We have water bottle filler fountains, but many students cannot use the rush due to the lack of having a water bottle. With getting the Gatorade and water bottles, the students will use those bottles at the water fountain to fill them up for the rest of the day and stay hydrated.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
