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 students at school are striving to be college and career ready every single day. They are exposed to 4 different career pathways while in 11th and 12th grade. Student have access to hands on internship and networking in the field they choose for two consecutive years. The four pathways are health and behavioral science, public service, construction and environmental technology and entrepreneurship and culinary. Our students are able to then have a better idea of career fields they would like to study for while working on college applications. 94% of our eligible seniors applied to 4 year colleges. The population of our school is primarily low income students of color and exposure to different careers is key to support their academic and personal growth. Our students are bright, dedicated, kind, and very invested in their community but need all of the support and guidance to follow their dreams.

My Project

The bench I selected would serve as more sitting space for students in my office. Currently, there are only two chairs and that is simply not enough for when a group of student wants to consult with me. The bench would provide additional seating but also storage for all of the stress relief toys I hope to get. Sometimes students find comfort in fidgeting without even knowing it and these toys would provide that for them. Having them around in my office can support them through their anxiety, mental break down or simply help them learn to cope with stressors. I remember last school year a young man was crying in my office and started fidgeting with a set of tiny minions I have sitting on my desk. It helped him cry and share his fears. Unfortunately, our school sees many students who do not have access to food. I have found myself buying granola bars to ensure students have something in their stomach because hunger can prevent student focus. Students know that the counseling office will have fruit or a granola bars and so many students come work on scholarships, college applications, study for SAT/ACT prep or do homework. We love being able to provide them with a snack while they are working so hard to get to their college or career move.
