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
Resilient, positive, compassionate, and driven describe the scholars at my middle school. The obstacles the scholars have to overcome simply to make it to school would have many adults think of quitting and yet they succeed and thrive. The middle school is located in one of the poorest and most under-served neighborhoods in a large rich city. They represent an array of abilities, beliefs, backgrounds, ethnicities and identities. All of their differences unite them together in a beautiful way. The school has formed a strong community in which no scholar falls through the crack and all have a chance at academic and social success.
My Project
Our school is focused on providing meaningful quiet time to our students to help deal with the stress of school and learn to handle the side effects of traumatic events. All students meditate twice a day and now the library would like to integrate yoga.
The library is a safe place for all students to recreate and read and now it will add yoga to help students reap the rewards of mindfulness.
Teachers and students have asked to practice yoga in the new remodeled space. Currently there is an area of our meditation program and yoga will compliment this perfectly. In addition, the library also is developing a collection centered around mindfulness and the entire school tries together to live more fully.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
