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

I have the pleasure of working with the entire student body at my school in a much needed capacity, non academic supports. I have assisted so many of my wonderful students with things as small as getting school supplies for someone whose family can’t afford them or even providing uniform shirts to a family that may be homeless. My work is extremely rewarding and helping my students become successful despite anything they may have going on is my daily mission.

My Project

These small snack items and school supplies will help to ensure that a child who may be hungry or who doesn’t have an item to complete an assignment has one less thing to worry about everyday! By taking care of the non academic supports, you can ensure a successful, attentive learner who achieves more everyday! I plan on having snacks and supplies available to every child so that can be one less stressor that they may deal with. Helping students to focus on education by taking the focus off non academic needs is my goal for this project and the school year.
