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

I have the privilege of working at a Title I school where most of the students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the challenges they face, my students are resilient, compassionate, and eager to learn. They deserve a safe and welcoming space where they feel valued, supported, and empowered to overcome obstacles.

The new sitting chairs, and calming corner supplies I’m requesting will transform my counseling office into a warm and functional environment.

While providing my students with a comfortable and inviting place for them to sit and share their thoughts.

My goal is to create a space that reflects the care and respect I have for each student, ensuring they feel supported and ready to focus on their personal growth and success. These resources will help me build stronger connections with my students, fostering a positive impact on their social-emotional learning and overall well-being.
