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

My students are some of the most resilient, energetic, and inspiring young people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Many of them come from single-parent homes, most qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at our Title I school, and a large number of them have had to endure homelessness. They are also leaders and role models for the younger siblings they help care for while parents are at work.

Regardless of the struggles that they may face, my students still find a way to show up to class smiling every single day, virtually now during distance learning.

They are excited about their future and all of the possibilities that await them, while they are aware it will take a lot of work and dedication to get there. I have never met a more capable group of young people.

My Project

While our students are facing a new way of learning, they are also discovering things that they need in order to complete the normal day school tasks. When our students came to our physical school, we could provide them with the paper and proper notebooks to complete all of their assignments.

Now, going into distance learning, many of our students are in need of the basic supply of writing notebooks.

With your support, our students will have enough notebooks for all of their subjects and online work. Yes, they are completing work online, but for most, working their math problems out, planning their writing, connecting what they just read to what they already knew about the characters, requires notebooks and note taking.
