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

I am the founder of the Path Program at our high school, to serve students with anxiety and depression, many of whom have been hospitalized for suicide. With social worker support, we have created a "comfort room" where they come one period a day or just to check in. These materials will help! Thanks!

The students in our program have been afraid to come to school, been bullied, felt isolated in other schools, and many are "over-age and under-credited" as their depression has often led to chronic school absenteeism.

But they are smart and want to be successful and are responding to our interventions. Our school district serves primarily low income students, so they are coming in with limited resources and our school cannot provide materials other than textbooks and classroom supplies. Our unique students need some unique items.

My Project

Our students are assigned one period a day for academic and social-emotional support. Sometimes they just need an escape and can use the Buddha boards, CDS and Mandela coloring books to forget their worries. The workbooks will help them address their issues in a non-confrontational manner, and the computer will help them complete work as they are too nervous to go to the library for computer usage.

The Path Program is literally saving lives by offering potentially suicidal and self-harming students a safe place where they can work on their issues.

The materials will help them gain peace of mind and improve the program with these resources
