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.
My Project
In a school of low-income students where many of them are newly relocated immigrants, having necessary winter clothing on hand allows me to help students adjust and learn to thrive in their new environment. Being able to allow students to select their own coat, hat, and gloves gives them ownership in an unfamiliar environment.
Once the basic necessities for winter survival are met, students can enjoy outdoor activities like building a snowman or participating in a snowball fight.
They are also prepared to survive walking in frigid temperatures. Help me give students coats, hats, and gloves to thrive in the winter months.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
