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 is an English Language Learner (ELL) school serving approximately 350 students in the Bronx. My students are predominantly immigrants and very ethnically diverse coming from countries such as the Dominican Republic, Yemen, Bangladesh, Senegal, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, Mexico, and Cambodia. One hundred percent of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Most students are late arrivals and immigrated in middle school or later, and as a result, they often face severe academic challenges having to quickly master new material in a brand new language. The vast majority of our students speak at least two languages; many speak three or more.

My students draw from their varied life experiences to offer astute and thoughtful perspectives on their world and to persevere through the many challenges put in their paths.

My students push me and all those around them on a daily basis to offer the education they deserve and to have the conversations they need. Our students seek to have their voices heard through initiatives like the student council and student government. My students are well aware of the difficulties of their circumstances, yet they are no less deterred to make their best effort to succeed.

My Project

We are working on building a strong college culture in our school. To this end, we are planning a College Signing Day. All grades will be involved. This will be the day to talk college and celebrate all the hard work and effort that went into our seniors' college process as well as to encourage younger students to have college as a goal and to see that goal as a reality. These materials will help us to make the day truly memorable. Seniors will be recognized and celebrated for signing with a college through an all-school assembly and presentation. They will receive goody bags to further honor their efforts. We will have college trivia questions for the younger grades and will award students by tossing out college-related prizes (pencils, t-shirts, bracelets, etc.). For all 12th grade students that signed with a college, we will also be raffling off a brand new Chromebook to help support them in their post-secondary pursuits.

We want college chatter to pervade student conversations throughout the school so that college, or more importantly high expectations, is the culture.

The vast majority of our students come from families where they will be the first to go or even apply to college. We want our students to feel special and truly capable. We want them to believe college success is a realistic goal for them. Please help us to create a day that is all about them and their truly impressive resilience.
