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

Our school is at the crossroads of the world. We service students primarily from the surrounding neighborhood, but they represent a global population of recently arrived immigrants from all across the world. They come to us seeking the opportunity to learn and share in the American promise.

We are a small school housed within a campus of many small schools.

As new students to the United States, they face many difficulties. They not only face an up-hill struggle to learn the subject matter, but must also to acclimate to a new culture, language and environment. We encourage and foster cooperation and collaboration among all students and staff, thus creating a school-wide learning environment of mutual respect and understanding of diverse cultures.

My Project

In order to overcome the language and cultural barriers, we use hands-on, experiential projects to engage and enrich the learning process in every discipline. We believe that students learn best by doing. To accomplish this goal we incorporate laboratory experiences in every science unit. Unfortunately, conducting laboratory activities is expensive. Due to budget cuts in education, replacing chemical reagents has been very difficult for our school. We need your help to replace the chemical reagents that are essential to meaningful laboratory activities.

Please help us restock our depleted laboratory supplies so that we can continue to provide meaningful learning experiences.

Your act of kindness and generosity will have a long lasting impact on our students. Thank you for your generosity.
