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 school is a brand new Title I, at-risk school, with a population of over 70% English Language Learners. The majority of our kids are struggling with so many outside challenges.

School is the one place our kids can feel loved, supported, safe, and secure!

We are very fortunate to allow our students to participate in sports programs, such as cheerleading! Our cheerleaders work so hard, trying to conquer and surpass their goals even through our new virtual platform. My team is a group of diverse young ladies who compete with teams and schools with years of cheer and gymnastics experience. We do not have that advantage. We work hard, set goals, and do everything we can to make it happen!

My Project

With our transition from online to slowly increasing students into our school building, we need to pump up the school spirit! A speaker for our cheerleaders will definitely bring back the much-needed spirit during these different times.

Our students now have the opportunity to finally be in the building.

We just opened a new school, and many of our students are eager to show their school spirit. We have not been allowed to participate in sports, but it's coming, and we want to be ready. Our students will use the portable speaker at future assemblies, community and school events. We can't wait to create a positive, energetic, and exciting school culture!
