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

At the present moment, our current 8th-grade students are in the unknown in terms of what will happen to their graduation and prom. Our school is a Pre-K - 8th grade, some of these students have been together for 8 years. They have built bonds with each other and right now are heartbroken because they are not able to say a final goodbye to their classmates, celebrate each other, nor attend graduation.

My Project

This pandemic that we are experiencing has brought a turbulent time for our middle school graduates. First, they are asked to attend school remotely. I may honestly say that they are ready for the corporate world with how well they have managed to submit work and attend countless remote meetings.

It is heartbreaking to think that their graduation day is slowly approaching causing them to become overwhelmed by the feeling of uncertainty in regards to having proper closure to their middle school years.

Our school would love to provide each graduate with a special delivery on the scheduled graduation day, which is set for June 22, 2020. We are putting together a "goody box" with their senior t-shirt, yearbook, greeting card, and other goodies with hopes to make them feel special despite these trying times.
