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

My students are an incredibly diverse population. They come from many different cultures and backgrounds. We have over 51 different languages other than English spoken at home as a primary language. Our students work incredibly hard and are very attentive. Most of my students are preparing for college, some directly for a career, and a few for the military.

We are trying to create a community of tolerance, acceptance, and compassion within our school and our teams/clubs.

The school is so incredibly diverse in religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and family structure with many immigrant families finding our town to be a wonderful, inviting home. In addition, we support the local homeless shelters, the homeless bus in a surrounding town, and our temporarily homeless students and families.

The high school has many varsity sports including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, hockey, track and field, gymnastics, swimming, cross country, tennis, softball, wrestling, golf, Special Olympics, dance, and bowling.

This project is specifically for our STEM Squad who goes to our elementary schools and hosts STEM nights where they bring lots of cool STEM activities to do with the younger students.

My Project

This project will give our robotics team enough battery powered LED string lights to decorate all of the doors on the central wing first floor for Valentine's Day. We are also working with our friends in a self-contained classroom and creating a decorative door and mailbox for them to receive valentines.

It is vitally important for our students to work together and to help others; it is especially important for high school students to learn empathy and be able to work with students who have different needs.

Our partner class has high functioning autistic students and a few non-verbal students. They are a wonderful group who loves to do activities and work with their robotics peers.

Thank you so much for helping us create a loving, stigma-free environment.
