Celebrating 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.

A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
When I look at my school population of students, the one thing I notice it how culturally diverse they are. I have students who come from Mexico, Africa, Asia, and Polynesian Islands. I work at a Title one school where 91% of the student population are on the free lunch program. I love coming to work everyday because I get to share my love of mathematics with my students. In return they are teaching me about their personal culture. Most of my students come from low-income homes where they experience many struggles daily. But do they show this? No, they show me that the world will not bring them down and that they are excited to learn something new everyday when they walk into my room.
Some of my students have risen through several life struggles and I would like to help them as much as possible by providing them with the resource of a calculator.
These calculators would allow me to help 180 students that I teach Middle School math levels to. By providing them with a calculator I will give them an extra resource to help them exceed in their math assignments and exams. This will also let me help prepare them for their future math courses in high school and college.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
