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

I am a teacher at a Title I elementary school in San Antonio, Texas. Our demographics include low socioeconomic status families, in which our students receive free breakfast and lunch everyday. The families in our community are dedicated, involved, and hard working people that want what is best for their children. Our students are just as dedicated to being active participants in their education. My job is to provide them with the knowledge that is needed to make their success become a reality!

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -Nelson Mandela

My Project

Safety equipment will promote a safe classroom environment, while learning in the science lab. This choice encourages children to become lifelong learners, while promoting responsibility. While having safety aprons, gloves, and goggles might seem like a small thing, it has a large impact on how children develop the intrinsic motivation necessary to be active participants in their education. My students will be able to use their equipment daily; building their love of science. Your donation will make many children, in an under served community, extremely happy by giving them the opportunity to complete safe, intriguing, science investigations throughout their time at our campus.
