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

My students are hardworking, enthusiastic, and eager to learn! I work in a Title I elementary school where many of our students face challenges outside the classroom, yet they come to school each day ready to grow, learn, and succeed. I love their determination, curiosity, and the excitement they show when they accomplish something they once thought was impossible.

As a Math Support Specialist, I have the privilege of working with students across multiple grade levels while also supporting teachers throughout our school.

I want to create a welcoming, positive environment where students feel supported, encouraged, and celebrated.

This project will provide pens, Post-it notes, and a variety of snacks, including cookies, chips, and granola bars. The pens and Post-it notes will help students and teachers stay organized, record their thinking, solve math problems, and participate in engaging learning activities. These simple supplies are used daily and make a meaningful difference in our classrooms.

The snacks will help ensure students have something to eat when they are hungry during the school day. We know that students learn best when their basic needs are met. Having snacks available can help students stay focused, energized, and ready to participate in learning. They can also be used to celebrate student accomplishments and recognize their hard work.

My goal is to make sure every student feels valued, supported, and ready to succeed, regardless of their circumstances. Sometimes, something as simple as a snack, a colorful Post-it note, or a word of encouragement can make a student's entire day.

With your generosity, we can provide the little things that make a BIG difference in helping our students learn, grow, and shine!
