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

Our school serves a beautifully diverse group of learners: they represent a variety of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, a significant population of students with special needs, and multilingual learners, as well as a myriad of personalities, interests, and amazing qualities. They’re charming, thoughtful, tenacious, perseverant, kind, compassionate, and infinitely curious.

As a Title I middle school in Bushwick, Brooklyn, we also serve students with high needs in an underserved community.

95% of our students are eligible for free or reduced lunch; 23% of our students have special needs or disabilities; nearly 20% of our students live in shelters or temporary housing; 16% of our students are learning English as a new language.

As educators, we set high expectations for our kids, and the depth of genuine, reciprocal love and commitment between the staff and the students is at the heart of our community. Our young learners have the ability, talent, creativity, and perseverance to spare -- but as we self-isolate, engage in social distance, and do all we can to ensure we get through this national crisis together, the most vulnerable members of our population are in very real danger of being left behind.

My Project

The closure of New York City public schools is affecting students and families across all five boroughs, but the impact on the city’s most vulnerable children is difficult to overstate. While our students have the drive, determination, and work ethic it takes to succeed, and we, as a school community, tackle narrowing the achievement gap, without the structure, facilities, and resources normally available through the school building, our kids are in very real danger of falling behind in more ways than one.

Particularly problematic is our students’ lack of access to the technology necessary for remote learning.

Over 300,000 New York City public school students lack access to the internet and the electronic devices at home required to engage with the remote learning platforms being implemented by schools across the city. Many of our students are among them. As a school community, we are banding together in a joint effort to ensure that our kids have the technology they need to continue to pursue their educational goals and meet their learning needs with new laptops throughout the rest of this crisis and beyond.

With these laptops, students will have access to assignments and resources in all content areas; they’ll have learning opportunities ranging from virtual field trips to group discussions about what they’re studying to inquiry-based projects that allow them to explore topics they’re passionate about and help shape their own learning. These devices will provide them a greater understanding of what opportunities are available to them and how to pursue them, and most of all, a powerful tool to help them grow and develop the skills and knowledge they need now and will need in the future in order to build fulfilling lives, stronger communities, and a better world.
