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

The donations we are requesting will significantly impact the learning and attendance of our underserved students who need extra motivation to come to school. By raffling technology items every month and semester, we aim to address the high absence rates in our school. These incentives will encourage regular attendance, which is crucial for students' engagement and academic growth. Consistent attendance ensures they benefit from uninterrupted instruction and access to modern technology, enhancing their learning experience and developing essential digital skills.

The primary goal of this project is to reduce student absences by using donated technology items as monthly and semester incentives.

These raffles will motivate our students, particularly those from underserved backgrounds who need additional encouragement to attend school. Improved attendance will lead to a more engaged and academically successful student body. This initiative also seeks to bridge the digital divide, ensuring all students have equal access to necessary learning resources. Ultimately, we aim to create a supportive learning environment where students are motivated to attend regularly and are equipped with the tools they need to achieve their academic goals.

Our students are special because they demonstrate incredible resilience and potential despite facing significant challenges. Many come from underserved backgrounds and require extra support to stay engaged in their education. Despite these obstacles, our students show remarkable growth and achievement when given the right opportunities and resources. By providing exciting incentives like technology items, we can help unlock their potential and encourage regular attendance. Our students' unique strengths and determination make them deserving of every opportunity to succeed. With the support of these donations, we can positively impact their educational journey, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their academic dreams.
