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

Our students are a full spectrum with a diverse campus in race, culture, socioeconomic status, and interests. Our campus serves approximately 635 students, grades 7th thru 8th and between the ages of 12 to 14. Ethnically, our students are approximately 87% minorities with 45% being Latin American, 26% African American, and 13% Asian and Pacific Islander. 25% of our students are currently English Language Learners.

We have 10% of our population receiving services from our Special Education department.

We have students coming from all over the district including many who are also English language learners. Our students come from a variety of cultures and socio-economic levels which means that most students have limited access to technology at home.

My Project

We would like a mini fridge so we have resources to make sure all our students are hydrated after an active PE class as well as having water when needed. We no longer have water fountains because of Covid so it would nice to have water for our students during PE. Currently, we have refill stations but not every student has a refillable bottles and the refill stations are inside the school not in the PE area.

We are trying to be proactive in providing our students' their basic needs.

Having the fridge is a need for everyone. Teachers in regards to safety concerns do not have to worry about sending students into the school. Students if needed have water at ready.
