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

I am currently working with 23 amazing students who are all from diverse backgrounds. As diverse as our students are economically and culturally, they are diverse in their academics. Our school is located in South Los Angeles, where most students are under served.

Our school serves Pre-K-5th grades and is located in the Crenshaw corridor that serves approximately 420 students school-wide.

Five principles guide our work: innovation, critical thinking, learning, preserving, and leadership. Our scholars are motivated, innovative and eager to learn!

My Project

This project will help provide materials for a safe physical return to campus. With a limited amount of space and materials, students will need to store their items securely.

Regardless of the current pandemic, students will be expected to return to school.

In order to ensure a safe return, we would like to provide a space for student to keep all of their materials.

We also would like to have extra masks handy for when students need them or forget them. It will be comforting to know that we have extra PPE. We want to make this return back to school to be as safe and organized as possible. If you donate, you will contribute to a safe return for scholars in South LA.
