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

"Do we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of Northern Philadelphia.

The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing, and share with their peers.

They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I struggle to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support holistic learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.

My Project

This is the first of a series of projects to establish a "Closet for Change." My hope is to create a closet at our school for our students who are in need of a change of clothes for any of the multitude of reasons that may arise. Whether it is because a child has had an accident at school or because a family could use a helping hand, our students should have access to this basic necessity.

A "Closet for Change" will not only provide a change of clothes, it will also encourage a change in attitude towards school.

Students who will have these jumpers and skirts available to them will feel less self conscious about the clothes they're wearing and their physical appearance.
