it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Senior Sunrise is a cherished tradition where our graduating seniors gather early in the morning to watch the sunrise together, marking the beginning of their final year in high school. It's a time for reflection, camaraderie, and creating lasting memories before embarking on the next chapter of their lives. I have secured permission to reserve a local beach pavilion to welcome the Class of 2025 the day before our official First Day of School. This is a new school-wide initiative that we hope to replicate moving forward; but for me, this class was my first class at a new school. I have watched them change from shy, timid, stressed students in a COVID world to compassionate, empathetic, charismatic, young men and women eager to spread their wings. These are truly exceptional children and they deserve the world. They have experienced a level of resilience that did not go unnoticed.
At BHT, where a significant portion of our students come from low-income families, events like Senior Sunrise take on even greater significance.
Help me get them to the finish line by promoting graduation. Many of our students face financial challenges that can limit their ability to fully participate in school activities. By providing items to decorate our Welcome Table for student check-in and drinks for Senior Sunrise, you can help ensure that all our seniors can enjoy this memorable occasion equally.
More than half of students from low‑income households
