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 Project

Hello donors, I’ve been teaching in a low income title 1 district for 20 years. Next year I will be building a brand new STEM class from the ground up for the middle school grades 6,7 and 8. My classes will focus on a group of at risk students that are in need of a little extra love and support. I want to give them an amazing class helps them to believe in themselves by giving them hands on learning options other than traditional classroom learning. Please help me to make my vision a reality and give them a chance to spark a passion that they didn’t know they had. By providing coding robots you will be helping my students spark their creativity and motivate them possibly consider a career in technology or engineering. I have high hopes and expectations for my students and with your help my hopes for them can become real. Thank you.
