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

Each day, my students face challenges before they enter the school building, ranging from extreme poverty, single-parent households, where the parent works multiple jobs, students with incarcerated parents, and many students who live in shelters. 

Despite these challenges, my students come to school each day, and I do my best to provide an emotionally supportive environment to foster academic success.

Several of my students are interested in pursuing art as a career. One of the first steps my middle schools can take is applying to an art-focused high school.

My Project

I am a middle school social worker in the South Bronx seeking funding for art supplies so that my students interested in applying to art-focused high schools are prepared with a portfolio of their work.

I have many students who are talented in art and would like to pursue it as a career.

The next step that I prepare them for is securing a seat in an art-focused high school. There are several high schools that are specialized in the arts and require a portfolio of the student's best work as part of the application process.

Last year, one of my students returned from an audition at a high school very upset. She said, "All of the other students had professional bags and lots of work." I don't want for any of my students to feel that their work is less than other students who are more affluent simply because they did not have the same resources.

Having professional portfolios and a variety of art materials will even the playing field for my students whose families can't afford to purchase art supplies for them.
