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

My students attend a growing K-10 charter school that is determined to overcome the struggles brought on by the ongoing pandemic. My students live in a struggling socio-economic climate in which their families work multiple jobs to provide. However, they have rebounded from the pandemic and have a newfound love of learning and the school community. These students have enrolled in my school with hopes of academic improvement and increased opportunities to expand their experience of the world.

I teach at a Title I School in East Las Vegas in which a high percentage of my students come from bilingual homes and all students receive free lunch.

My students have already faced challenges more difficult than most adults have to endure. My students are resilient and hard-working. My students believe that they have something to offer the world and our school's mission is to take that tenacious energy to change the way our community feels about itself. Our students are ready and we can't wait to show you what they will do.

My Project

My school has created an after-school program for all students. This program enhances their learning and provides the students with experiences to enrich their lives. Students participate in Science, Art, Music, Sports, and many other activities that broaden their abilities and perspectives. My school needs additional materials for these activities in order to continue offering our students this opportunity.

These materials will provide students with immense opportunities to explore their creativity, passions, and abilities in the after-school program.

This project will supply my students with necessary art supplies as well as games and puzzles for the club portion of the program. These supplies will impact the lives of hundreds of students over the following months and years as we strive to make up for lost time at our school. I thank you for your consideration and your kindness.
