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 have so little and I want to give them so much more. All of the students here come from homes below the poverty line, and I want them to have the chance to experience something that can influence their lives.

My students come from broken homes, homeless shelters, projects, and worse.

We have a huge population of immigrant students, as well, and I want them to be exposed to as much as possible so that they don't fall behind in their future educational endeavors. They take public transportation, buses, and trains to and from one of the most dangerous corners in this city. Most of them have limited or no access to computers and the Internet outside of our school. Their home lives are crowded and so are their classrooms. Many of our students view coming to this public school as a way to escape their home lives. We try our best to provide students with access to diverse, fun learning programs, but with major budget cuts, we can no longer afford to fund student-centered projects. It has become increasingly difficult to offer character-building education services to our large population of students with special needs.

My Project

Help me give our students some fun snacks to eat during the day so they are not worried about being hungry. It is very hard to focus on school work on an empty stomach. Having snacks on hand helps give energy boosts to our students. It makes a huge difference in how their day goes since they can keep their stamina up for the whole day. I also want my students to have access to hygiene items, no questions asked, so they can take them home and use them daily. It will help stop the spread of illness, which is critical during the spread of COVID-19. A majority of the students do not have the ability to bring these to school every day. Please help me make sure learning is their main focus.
