Traveling the Gravel Road to Great Health

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 are from poor inner city neighborhoods. All receive free lunch and struggle to afford basic school supplies. Most are motivated to achieve so they can pull themselves out of poverty and create a better life for themselves and their families.

My students need to be empowered to lead a healthy, safe, disease free lifestlyle.

Healthy bodies and calm minds lead to peaceful hearts. Once students learn how to instill this discipline into their lives they'll have the key to a happy future.

Since reading is integral to success I'd like to equip my health classroom with young adult fiction books which tackle tough topics.

My Project

The Gravel Road books are unflinching in reality. No topic is off-limits: suicide, homosexuality, drugs, rape, gangs, bullying. Teens live with this reality each day. And they find a way to survive.

The Gravel Road books will give my students coping strategies and the feeling of knowing that they are not alone in their struggle.

Being able to discuss difficult topics is one of the necessities to achieving high levels of mental and emotional health. My students will read these books either alone or with a partner. Then they will write a short summary and present to the class. We will then discuss the topics in our talking circles.
