  • Yearbook Digital Cameras

    Funded Jun 28, 2006

    WOW!!! Thank you so much for your generous donation of digital cameras. It will be of great help when the school year starts in the fall. The Yearbook Club will definitely have an early start to getting pictures taken to include in the yearbook. This year is especially meaningful as our school will have our first graduating class. Thank you again on behalf of the students who are eagerly awaiting to resume their roles as editors, photographers, and sales reps”

    With gratitude,

    Dr. Ochoa-Rivera

  • Document Camera for AP Spanish Essay Writing

    Funded Mar 25, 2006

    As the AP Spanish Language teacher and Spanish Department chair, I wanted to thank you on behalf of the students at Oscar de la Hoya Animo Charter High School. Your donation could not have come at a better time. We are preparing for the Advanced Placement exam in a couple of weeks, and our students greatly need the extra practice, modeling, and assistance in improving their essay writing. I have been in communication with the AP English teacher as well, and I know that she is eager to have a go at the document camera as well. Again, thank you for your generous donation. Our students will greatly benefit not only in preparation for the AP exam, but for writing their personal statements when they begin to apply for college, amongst so many other uses.

    Sincerely,

    Sandra O

  • Spanish Multimedia

    Funded Mar 25, 2006

    On behalf of the students at Oscar de la Hoya Animo Charter High School, thank you for your generous donation. I am always looking for ways to make the class more exciting, interesting, and realistic. With your donation, I can expose the students to different Spanish speaking cultures, especially in the arts, film, and literature. My students are always borrowing from my personal (but small) library of books, and I frequently have to rent movies to show to the students and buy CD's to expose my students to the different artists that are out there. Also, I don't have to scramble anymore to see where I can find certain books, songs, or art pieces to use in my lessons. Once more, thank you for you donation.

    Sincerely,

    Sandra O

Our school is the first one to be built in the neighborhood in over 30 years. It serves a largely Latino population. Research shows that Latinos are still underrepresented in post-secondary institutions. The mission of our school is to prepare students for college. One of the ways that we hope to do that is by offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses. I currently teach AP Spanish Language to a mixed group of sophomores, juniors, and seniors. While most of these students grew up in a Spanish-speaking household, many still have difficulty with the reading and writing. Spanish may be their fist language, but it was never formally taught to them in the classroom.
