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

Will the classrooms be clean? Will there be masks for us to wear? These are some of the questions students wrote on their end-of-the-year survey when I asked them what they were most nervous about for the next school year.

After a year and a half of remote learning during a time when many students dealt with incredible loss and hardships, my students are happy to return to the classroom this fall -- with a few reservations.

In order to combat these reservations and to support students' mental health, classroom engagement, community building, and creating a welcoming environment will be of paramount importance this fall.

My Project

For this project, I am requesting disposable face masks and small, personal bottles of hand sanitizer to give to each student on the first day of school. So many students have expressed concern about their safety and health upon the return to in-person learning this fall. I know that being able to provide them with a mask and their own sanitizer will help ease their fears while making sure everyone is safe. I am also requesting a backdrop and welcome back to school banner to help create a festive atmosphere on the first day.

Every student should feel safe upon returning to school this fall.

With your help, we can welcome students back to the classroom and ensure everyone has a safe and healthy school year.
