Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
Our school serves a student population that is 95% low-income, 98% minority, 62% English Language Learners, 9% Special Education students, and 100% AMAZING! School enrollment has grown over time (and is now at full capacity) due to consistent improvement in school quality. We are now nearing almost 900 students.
The students often describe our school as their second family.
Our school is committed to preparing students for college and career by providing a continuous ECE - 8th grade program that focuses on strong culture, high expectations, diverse communities, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. We are an innovation school serving over 900 students who are becoming next the generation of leaders in the Montbello community and beyond. Grounded in extensive research, my school has already demonstrated five years of successful instructional improvement during turnaround through high fidelity implementation of personalized learning, thematic units, flexible grouping and inquiry-based learning. Our teachers continue to create their own rigorous, research based curricula strategically designed to increase achievement for all students, incorporating authentic learning experiences that represent the cultural uniqueness of the kids and families of our school community.
My Project
The students at our school have been learning about many diverse groups of people this year, including people in the LGBTQ+ community. Our goal is to educate our students about this beautiful community so that they are accepting and welcoming of all people.
Since learning about the LGBTQ+ community, some of our students have advocated to start a GSA (Gay Straight Alliance) at school!
The purpose of this alliance will be to create a safe place for students to gather to continue learning and discussing these topics.
This project will fund books, stickers, and flags for students to use to learn, grow, and advocate for our LGBTQ+ community.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
