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

As a Trust Counselor in a low-income/high poverty school district, my students are faced with many challenges throughout their lives, which impact their school and home lives.

Despite the many challenges they face, my students are always willing to lend a helping hand.

I am looking to help heal, inspire and connect students with each other and their community while providing lifelong meaningful adventures.

On a yearly basis I am involved in many different projects through out the school. Many of which are student lead.

On any given day I can go from distributing school supplies to our neediest students to organizing school wide prevention lessons, coordinating the collections of our school pantry and boutique to organizing our next outdoor adventure through our Castaway Club to providing hands on support to our youth and their families.

My Project

The supplies that I am requesting will be used by our grieving youth. The journals will be distributed to our teen youth who is currently grieving the loss of a loved one. The canvases, paints and brushes will be used in a group setting as we have a student lead our group in painting a selected scenery.

These types of projects will help our students understand that in life there are obstacles and challenges but through support and connections with others they will realize that everyone is entitled to heal and be happy.

My students will learn through some journaling and painting that simple gestures, acts and commitment, students from every religion, race and ethnicity can have a common goal of HEALING. My main goal for my students is for them to understand that one person, even a child, can make a difference in the lives of others, but you must first take care of yourself. Thank you for taking the time to consider our request.
