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 Students

My Extended Day students come from very diverse backgrounds. We are made up of over 90 kiddos from more than 10 ethnic backgrounds.

We are a Title 1 School in a low socio-economic area, and most of our students are either from single parent and/or single income families.

My staff and I spend a lot of our own income on providing what we can to enrich the experience in our program because these kids spend 8-10 hours on campus and away from their homes. We are their family.

My Project

With more than 90 students in our before and after school care, we are challenged with finding new and exciting ways to not only teach the basics, but we also encourage healthy habits, physical activity and team building sports.

With various types of sports equipment, we can provide students who are not normally exposed to team sports, a basis for so many possibilities.

Over our winter break, all of our sports equipment went missing. It's very difficult to continue our vision for the program without having it to teach so many important life lessons like compassion, team work, health, and encouragement.
