Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

As a high school educator guiding students through Theory of Knowledge (TOK), the Extended Essay (EE), CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service), and English literature, I strive to create a dynamic and thought-provoking classroom where students think critically, express themselves creatively, and engage deeply with global and personal issues.

Next year, I want to refresh our learning space with updated materials that match our evolving curriculum and students’ needs.

This includes contemporary books that spark discussion, visual resources to support multimodal learning, and creative supplies for hands-on projects and presentations including markers, pencils and crayons.

Your donation will help me bring in art supplies and presentation materials for class presentations and projects as well as complete their EE, TOK exhibitions, and CAS reflections.
