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 currently work in a school servicing students with autism and intellectual disabilities in grades 6-12. My students are also English Language Learners and have an abundance of assets, joy for life, and a love for learning. Besides the core subjects, like reading, writing, and math, students also receive vocational training to learn important job skills to succeed in the workplace after graduation.

Our school's culinary arts program, the Learning Cafe, is where students learn how to follow recipes to make delicious and nutritious meals.

They learn cash handling practices, health and hygiene, and how to provide legendary customer service. However, we are in need of a working oven to expand our culinary skills and soooo much more!

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
