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 Project
I have a diverse group of students who all share one thing in common: the struggle of being in middle school, where you're no longer a little kid, but not yet an adult.
This in-between stage creates a unique set of challenges that everyone faces, regardless of their background or circumstances.
They're navigating a complex world where they're expected to take on more responsibility and demonstrate maturity, yet they still yearn for the freedom and simplicity of childhood. Their bodies are changing, their emotions feel overwhelming at times, and they're constantly trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in. Social dynamics become increasingly complicated as friendships shift and peer pressure intensifies. Despite their differences in personality, interests, and experiences, the shared journey through the awkward and uncertain territory of middle school creates a powerful common bond among them.
More than half of 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
