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

Our high school students hail from Queens, NY, one of the most diverse places in the world. Their rich multicultural backgrounds add great value to the overall academic and socio-emotional experience. Many of our students come from neighborhoods ravaged by poverty and violence. Yet, our scholars face each day with grit, determination and humor. Many will be the first in their families to graduate high school and/or go to college, an accomplishment that must be celebrated.

Because Covid has taken so much from this year's senior class (yearbook signing, senior trip, prom, etc.), we want to send them off on their post-secondary journey with a few special keepsakes to remind them of all they have overcome these past two academic years.

Please help us celebrate our graduating Class of 2021 and support our project.

My Project

Covid 19 robbed our senior class from what should have been one of the best years of their lives. They had no prom, senior trip, or yearbook signing. They did not have the opportunity to spend time together nor make memories with their classmates. At this year's graduation ceremony, we would like to present each graduate with memorable graduation keepsakes. Although it will be smaller in scale, we want to make it something that they will remember forever and that conveys our pride in reaching this milestone with great resilience.
