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

I am a Math and Science teacher in New York. For the past 3 years, our city and school communities have been hit and hurt by unexpected changes that forever altered our lifestyles and routines. Despite our best intentions and efforts to support our students, we continue to face challenges resulting from deepened learning gaps, limited socialization, and a reduced education budget.

I love my students' can-do attitudes toward academic barriers and taxing home circumstances.

Ninety-five percent of my students receive free lunch, and nearly 1/3 of them live in the NYC shelter system. This year, our school budget has been cut by the mayor by about 12%, which significantly affects our school community. We have to cut back on community service projects, operate fewer extracurricular activities, and rely more heavily on donations to purchase supplies. In the end, student learning continues to suffer. We are turning to DonorChoose to get what we need in order to create and support an equitable learning community for our students. For this particular project, we are requesting donations to purchase a series of goods and supplies to get ready for our next Community Day. Students are leaders of the planning committee and they have nailed down what food to serve to guests (Popcorn machine, various types of sweets), Echo Dot (to answer guests' questions as well as providing quick facts about our community), a power bank to power Echo Dot in places that outlets aren't available, Airtags to attached to valuable items such as Popcorn Machine, Echo Dots since they are mobile in the event and allow students to track them in real life through their student iPads.
