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 Project

Please help me with supplies for my 8th graders. We are in the process of starting their first research project as they get ready for high school. I plan to surprise students with a certificate of achievement during their culmination ceremony in June for their research/civic engagement. My classroom has not had the blinds replaced since they fell out of the wall last year- leaving half of my classroom's windows exposed. My students would benefit greatly from access to curtains to shield them from excessive sun and heat in the coming Spring. This year my school site no longer provides PPE for students like disinfecting wipes, several of my students have missed school because they have been sick. Disinfectant wipes would greatly help make sure students are safe and healthy, preventing them from getting sick and missing out on school and their learning.

My 8th grade students are learning more about civic and government and the ways that they can better advocate for their community.

They are steadily learning the ways they can make the world around them more equitable. The materials I am requesting on behalf of my students will help my students have a better learning experience on a daily scale and ensure that they find joy in learning history to advocate for a more just future.
