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 comprised of our city’s most talented young people, dedicated teachers, and staff. We take great pride in the rigor of our curriculum, the quality of our instruction, and the performance of our students. Our students are serious scholars who constantly strive for success. Their determination ensures that they are the up-and-coming leaders of tomorrow.

To our students, failure is not an option; it is just another obstacle waiting to be overcome.

They believe with hard work and perseverance anything is achievable. They are excited to be in school and look forward to each day's encounters. My students enjoy being challenged and love challenging their teachers. They not only question everything, they seek out and find the answers.

Our students, for lack of a better word, are exceptional. While our students are serious scholars, they are very involved in all aspects of school. They belong to various clubs in the school, are involved in athletics, and tap into the creative minds through the arts. They are on their way to becoming well-rounded and productive members of society.

My Project

The library at our school is an active learning center. We see on average five hundred students a day. They come into the library for a variety of reasons: to study, compete homework assignments, apply for jobs and colleges, or just for a place to be with their friends. The students in out school are overachievers. Many of them involved in multiple extracurricular activities on top of a rigorous course load.

They are a wonderful group of students who forget how to take a minute and unwind.

The students already see the library as a place to go when they need to find information, or a place to get things done. But now with this project they will see it as a place to unwind, relax, and de-stress even if it is just for a few minutes.

The addition of jumbo coloring pages and colored pencils will allow our students to focus on some relaxing fun. The library will be a place where they can be creative and quietly socialize while collaborating to finish a no stress project. Studies have show that coloring is a stress-free activity that relaxes the amygdala — the fear center of the brain — and allows your mind to get the rest it needs.
