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 so lucky to work with an amazing bunch of motivated, gifted and talented students. We are in a diverse community where many backgrounds are represented. Our school also has Title I status which reflects our community, but not our drive! We are determined to succeed and even started our first school newspaper and believe that the most valuable learning children do is when they make all project planning decisions and see them through. Students set up interviews, generated questions, and wrote original articles. A color printer for copies would help their work shine even brighter! We are hopeful to get a color printer and copier to help enhance future issues!

My Project

Our gifted and talented students started our first ever school newspaper last year. It was one of our many project based learning projects. We were an amazing success...but copies didn't get the full attention that they deserved because they were not printed in color due to high ink and paper costs and our school's limited Title I budget. Title I schools reflect the poverty in our area and despite this, our students are thriving and achieving. I would love for our student reporters' work to really shine this year with your help and the donation of our color printer! Students set up interviews, generate a list of their own questions, turn the answers into articles, edit, take accompanying photos, etc. Only to then have all their hard work printed in black and white?! Please help their newspaper reach it's full potential!
