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

Our students are a remarkable group of bright, enthusiastic, and diverse individuals who bring a unique energy and curiosity to the classroom every day. They are eager to learn, explore new ideas, and engage deeply with the material. However, the constant distraction of cell phones can impede their ability to fully immerse themselves in their education.

We aim to create an environment where students can concentrate on their studies without the interruptions from their phones.

The cell phone lockers we are requesting will make a significant difference in their learning by providing a secure place to store their devices during class. This will help eliminate distractions, allowing students to focus better, participate more actively, and engage more deeply with the lessons.

Our goals for this project are to enhance academic performance, foster a more disciplined and attentive classroom culture, and create a sanctuary where students can experience uninterrupted learning. We believe that by reducing these distractions, students will be able to develop better study habits, retain information more effectively, and achieve higher academic success.

What makes our students special is their potential and determination to succeed. They are capable of amazing things when given the right environment and tools. With your support, we can help them reach their full potential and ensure that they have the opportunity to learn in a space that values and promotes their educational growth.

Thank you for considering our project and for your dedication to creating a better learning environment for our students. Your contribution will make a lasting impact on their educational journey.
