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

Colina Middle School promises to be a school where students will build confidence both academically and socially. Teachers hold high expectations for student achievement and are dedicated to facilitate a safe learning environment. An emphasis on using 21st century educational strategies and offering a wide variety of co-curricular opportunities to support music, arts, athletics and leadership creates a middle school experience where students and teachers are engaged, enriched, and empowered to perform. Colina is a school where student learning is the focus and its staff is committed to support them in reaching their full potential with a climate that promotes working hard, making friends, and having fun.

My Project

One of the major missions of our library is to provide all students with a diverse and up dated offering of books appropriate to their levels of reading, comprehension, and learning style. We find it imperative to have these titles available at our school so that finding the time or means to get to a public library after school is not an issue. This means not only having a good diverse selection of recreational reading books but also the books necessary to support them in the classroom. The project will touch and impact all 871 students on our campus.
