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

Students in our college and career prep course are navigating young adulthood in uncertain times. As we read, write and create together, we lean into intersectional tools to articulate understandings of complex systems: race, class, gender, sexuality.

Students have expressed interested in amassing some material tools as well: hula hoops, snacks, gratitude journals and other SEL supports would allow for a sense of collectivity, sharing, and fun.

We believe in self determination, that we keep us safe, and that help is not coming: help us here.

Thanks for your consideration!
