Celebrating 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 are creative, enthusiastic, and animated learners. They are eager to grow as readers, writers, mathematicians, and scholars. Beyond these wonderful attributes, each one of my students brings a unique story and set of experiences to our classroom.
We live out one of our school's values, 'Diversity As Our Strength,' every day.
Our families come from an incredible variety of countries including Bhutan, Mexico, the Philippines, Guatemala, Thailand, China, Honduras, El Salvador, and Afghanistan. Our families, school, and neighborhood are deeply connected to create a community full of hope, support, and love.
My Project
Our school needs a new vacuum so that we can keep our classrooms clean. Students track a lot of dirt, germs, and trash into the classroom with them every day, and as much as teachers and students work to clean up after ourselves, there are some things only a vacuum can pick up! Our vacuum breaks frequently which often results in classrooms not being cleaned for weeks at a time!
Without a working vacuum, students end up sitting, laying, and playing on a dirty carpet day after day.
We use the carpet for lessons four times a day, independent work, and student play time. Students often stretch out and lay down on the carpet during work time. We need a functioning vacuum in order to keep our carpet clean!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
