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

"Do we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of Northern Philadelphia.

The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing and share with their peers.

They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I aim to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support holistic learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.

My Project

Our students are truly the best little people in Philadelphia. We often refer to our school as the Sheridan family because all staff work together to ensure that our students needs are met. No need is too small or too great.

This project is to support our families by providing laundry detergent pods so that our students have clean clothes and uniforms to attend school daily.

There have been several times that I've spoken parents in my classroom that kept their children home because they didn't have a clean uniform to wear. When our students come to school with clean clothes, they are able to focus more on their studies and have their minds at ease. Clothing should not be a barrier--and it won't be with your generosity.
