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.
Our students love to learn about other cultures and the world around us. We are an International Baccalaureate (IB) school that focuses on world issues and cultures. Our students work on many research projects throughout the year. Our kids get to choose their area of research and then produce a research project on their topic complete with visual aids. Our students come from many different local communities. The students learn from each other about the cultures of our communities and families and share their learning with the community.
My Project
Several of our newest students lost everything in Hurricane Maria. We need care and comfort items for our students who have just arrived from Puerto Rico. We are asking for Tablet computers so the students can use them at school and home to help with the transition from Spanish to English. They will be using the tablets for homework, reading, math, and school projects. We are asking for soap, shampoo, towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste because most of our students came to our school with nothing. We are asking for jackets so they can stay warm. We are asking for the camera and film so that we can take pictures of them and their families. We know these won't replace all of the photos lost in the storm but it will be a way to rebuild their family photo collections. We have also asked for the stuffed owl blankets so they can have a comfort item. Thank you for helping out our newest students!
