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

Students at my school are energetic learners from the inner city. They are not provided with many opportunities to leave their communities and I would like my students to step out of their comfort zones and explore the energy of Disney!

My students are from Brooklyn New York.

The majority of my students are English Language Learners and Special Needs students. They are struggling financially and come from neighborhoods full of crime and gang activity. They are high school students and they are preparing themselves to enter the world as young adults. Our school is a safe zone, full of caring individuals who treat our student body as family. Our students are eager to learn and explore, but are rarely provided with opportunities to do so.

My Project

Many of my students have never left their neighborhood of Brooklyn and the idea of having the opportunity to fly to another state is absurd. An opportunity to explore and break cultural boundaries while being rewarded for a true dedication to education is needed. Oftentimes, teachers and administrators find themselves focusing on negative behavior in the classroom and school community, rather than rewarding the positive. This trip is my attempt to showcase the high-achieving students and motivate others to strive towards success.

This donation will impact our students' lives more than we can imagine.

Of all the memories teenagers have from High School, this will be one of the most memorable. Students who have honor role averages and push themselves to success, will be rewarded with the opportunity to travel to Orlando, Florida and explore the magic of Disney World!
