Celebrating 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.
I have the privilege of working directly with every student in my elementary school as the guidance counselor. For the first 30 minutes of every morning as students arrive for breakfast before instruction begins, I welcome every child who enters the school with a warm smile and personal greeting.
I teach guidance classes, support students by conferencing with them, mentoring them, and being the voice they need to aid in educational modifications and supports as needed as I work with teachers and parents to create individualized plans to help students succeed.
Getting to know every child on a personal level and make them feel welcome, loved and motivated in school is my passion and I enjoy every minute serving these students who hold a special place in my heart.
My Project
My mornings start off the best as I have the opportunity to welcome all students into the school as they arrive for breakfast before instruction begins. I love that I get to welcome every child who enters the school with a warm smile and personal greeting.
Last winter, I noticed many students walked to school freezing as they wore shorts and no sweater.
This broke my heart and I knew I had to do something about it immediately. A few teachers and I collected and distributed sweaters and pants to these students and now it has become my mission to make sure that all students are able to stay warm this winter before the cold weather arrives. I am asking for twenty-five red sweaters/sweatshirts in a variety of sizes.
With your support, you will be helping to warm these students with sweaters and helping to make a difference in their lives so they can have basic needs being met. This will help them to focus on school and learning all while knowing that their teachers and strangers like you care a lot about them.
