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 counsel 12-14-year-old growing adolescents who mostly come from low socioeconomic backgrounds. My students focus their time learning content they need in order to graduate high school and beyond; this may be difficult for some students.

I currently work with all 7th-grade students either individually and/or in counseling groups teaching them coping skills, executive functioning skills, positive communication skills and many other social and emotional skills that they may need in order to navigate the world around them.

Many of my students participate in our school's sports team and clubs, showing commitment to their school community and their future.

Over 90% of my students come from the surrounding impoverished neighborhood, yet they consistently earn high test scores, arrive at school daily and on-time and demonstrate resiliency while navigating life despite traumatic experiences.

My Project

Research has shown that students are able to learn better when they're well nourished, and eating healthy meals has been linked to higher grades, better memory and alertness, and faster information processing.

The benefits of healthy eating at our school will not only encourage academic and emotional achievement but more importantly teach our students lifelong healthy eating habits.

Our students live in the South Bronx where healthy stores and snacks are not as easily accessible to them. However, providing healthy snacks to our students during the school day can help meet these needs so that the students can focus on more important things like learning and preparing themselves to get into top rated high schools that our students have the opportunity to attend.
