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

This year, I have the privilege of working as a school counselor. My students just came back from a long hiatus due to Covid. Most of them are excited to spend time with their friends. Quite a few of them are nervous and anxious about being back to a school environment especially the 6th graders that are just starting middle school. My students care about their school environment, community, and each other.

Socio-emotional learning is at the forefront of this school year.

My students can all benefit from a lot of emotional and financial support. As a counselor working in a Title I school, the need for additional resources to benefit the emotional well-being of the community is a priority.

My Project

It has always been good practice to clean every workspace in a classroom to keep germs away. Now, it is necessary to keep common spaces even cleaner now with Covid. My students use a variety of classroom supplies (desks, tables, chairs, electronics). It is very important to keep these surfaces cleaned at all times.

A clean space is a safe space.

Having these supplies (tissues, paper towels, Lysol sprays, a broom, and a Swifter Mop) will help keep our shared space germs free.

With your support, students will be able to clean after themselves to make sure that the next round of students will always stay germ-free.
