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

Project Overview:

This project aims to integrate Learning Acceleration, Academic Renewal, Student Enrichment, and the Social, Emotional, & Mental Health of both students and school staff.

Our urban school currently has a courtyard area that does not have a comfortable or relaxing area for students to use during times of stress or when they want to work outside. We have an title 1 trade school with a wide range of diversity and are based in an inner city.

The main components include creating a relaxing outdoor space with Adirondack chairs

Budget Breakdown:

Adirondack Chairs x 2 ($992.95):

Purchase of durable Adirondack chairs for the courtyard.

This will allow us the development of a quiet reflection corner with motivational quotes which we will create on signs made within our school.

Monitoring and Evaluation:

We will create a 'visitors book' in the Style of Appalachian Trail shelters so that the 'visitors to our space can leave their name and comments on their 'visit'.

Feedback sessions with teachers and students to assess the impact on learning and relaxation for the tranquil area.

Observations of the courtyard's effect on the overall atmosphere and well-being.

Expected Outcomes:

Improved social interactions and collaboration among students in a relaxed outdoor setting.

Increased interest in science through outdoor reading and impromptu discussions.

Enhanced social, emotional, & mental well-being with a designated quiet reflection area.

Conclusion:

This proposal focuses on creating a Science Oasis in the school courtyard, fostering learning, relaxation, and well-being. The allocation of $992 towards two adirondack chairs will primarily fund this. The rest of what is needed can be achieved through existing resources we have at the school.
