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 the Mental Health Counselor at a Title I school located in East Palo Alto, California. One of our goals as a school is to serve the whole child. This means in addition to providing comprehensive academic education, we also prioritize students' social and emotional learning and well-being.

I work to promote students’ self-awareness and self-regulation as well as social awareness and social skills.

For many of our students, school is one of the very few places offerings emotional and mental health resources and supports.

Ninety-one percent of our students participate in the free and reduced-price meal program. Ninety percent of our students speak English as a second language. Ninety-eight percent of our students will be first-generation college students. Ninety percent of our students are Latino; 6.5% are African-American; 2% are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.

Our students are scholars striving to become the best versions of themselves, and they deserve all the resources and supports that are readily available to students in higher-income communities.

My Project

I would like to have a supply of quick and healthier (but non-perishable) snacks that I can provide my students when needed. My students have experienced many changes over the past year. From sheltering in place at home for extended periods of time, to over a year of distance learning, to now returning to school in person with all the added safety precautions it has been a challenging time for everyone. For some students, the shift has been that they have had access to food whenever they wanted, only being a few steps away from their kitchen at all times. For others, with parental job loss and less access to free and reduced price school lunches, access to food has been harder than ever.

I would like to make sure that when any student needs a small snack to keep them focused on learning we have that available to them, food is a basic need.
