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 Project

Every student deserves to feel cared for, supported, and inspired when entering a classroom. For my 12th-grade English students, this year represents their last chapter of high school — a time filled with excitement, challenges, and preparation for the world ahead. My goal is to create a space where they can thrive, not just academically but emotionally, too.

Some of my students come to school facing long days and heavy burdens, yet they show up ready to learn and grow.

I want our classroom to be more than a place to sit and study—I want it to be a refuge where they feel safe, valued, and seen.

This is why I'm asking for your help to provide a few essentials that can make a world of difference:

Snacks are a small gesture with a big impact. Sometimes, a quick bite is all it takes to help a student refocus, feel cared for, and stay energized throughout the day.

Bean bags provide comfortable seating where they can relax, collaborate, and explore stories and ideas without the rigidity of a desk. This simple addition transforms the room into a more welcoming and approachable space.

Apple TV: A tool to bring lessons to life with engaging multimedia resources, making stories, speeches, and creative projects more interactive and memorable.

These items might seem small, but they can change how my students experience school. With your generosity, our classroom can become a place where learning feels less like a task and more like an opportunity—where they feel cared for, motivated, and ready to tackle the future.

Your gift will remind them that they are seen, supported, and capable of achieving great things.

Thank you for helping me create a space that says to every student, "You belong here, and you matter."

With deepest gratitude.
