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

Our students are high schoolers with disabilities and our Occupational Training Center school mission, is to prepare them for the real world.

The hydroponic equipment is much needed for instruction related to botanics, healthy living and culinary instruction.

We plan on growing edible plants to incorporate to our many recipes.

Our school focus is to teach students with disabilities the many skills necessary for them, when they graduate and want to live independently and become active participants in their community. My culinary program provides all the insides of a vital lifeskill.
