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

We have a wonderful, diverse mix of students at our school. They commute to our school from all over the Salt Lake Valley. We also have students who come to our school from other states and countries. I love that students have to intentionally choose to come to our school. That deliberate act makes us a close community of learners. Most of our students play some type of sport (about 80%) and we don't cut anybody from our teams. The power of athletics in a young persons life is truly special. There are valuable life lessons in addition to the surface benefits that are health related. There are also awesome aspects of our student body that come from being involved in athletics. They support and cheer for each other like no other place. One fun example of this that you see often is sports is when the athletes cheer for an underdog, it could be a manager or the like. This year our students were so keen on having an appreciation day for our school janitor. UNPROMPTED from an adult. Our school is a true team!

My Project

I think that in an ideal world we are intrinsically motivated. But in reality, we all can use a push sometimes to be our best. At our school, which is primarily composed of student-athletes, we are result oriented more than most. Recently we have put together some recognition programs for students who do well in the class room - measured not always in high scores, but also in making progress - and also for those who are fostering the culture we desire. One of kindness and responsibility, leadership and ownership. The Hydro Flasks will be high value prizes that can potentially help motivate an otherwise struggling student.

Many of our students are economically disadvantaged, so they don't always get a chance to buy things like Hydro Flasks for themselves.

A water bottle for many of our students is an expense that they can't afford. I would love to be able to give prizes that our students can't get for themselves. These outside motivators can be the nudge our students need to make that last study session really count, or take an extra read over a passage to make sure they did a good job. I am all for helping them however we can, and if an extrinsic motivator gets them over the hump, than I think we should do it.
