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 Wellness Center works with a student body of 1100 students and approximately 60 staff members. The Wellness Center is staff by a Wellness Coordinator, School District Nurse, Therapist, and a Community Health Outreach Worker. Services offered by the Wellness Center include individual therapy, group therapy, case management, sensitive services, and youth leadership development opportunities. Additionally, the Wellness Center hosts a Department of Public Health clinic on site two days a week. Students are able to receive various types of birth control, emergency contraception, and STI/HIV testing and treatment.

The Wellness Center also works with the administrators to implement and improve school-wide positive behavior interventions and supports, respond to crises, and host school-wide health and wellness events and activities.

The Burton Wellness Center is designed to address all the health and wellbeing needs of students and staff. Our students are unique and have an array of needs that we strive to meet within the Wellness Center. When we can’t meet a specific need, we collaborate with community-based organizations to come on site to support students or to refer and coordinate student connections to other agencies outside of school.

My Project

My students often times get sweaty during PE and basketball practice and don't feel fresh. If we are able to provide them with basic hygiene products like deodorant, they will not feel the need to douse themselves with perfume or cologne.

They also would benefit having warm, healthy soup to eat when they are sick or facing food insecurity at home.

We have several microwaves on campus that students can use to warm up their food. Unfortunately, food insecurity across the country is growing, particularly among low-income households (especially households with seniors, children, or a single parent). In San Francisco,

food insecurity is a significant barrier to healthy eating. According to the California Health Interview Survey, food insecurity among adults (18 years and older) with incomes below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines grew from 20.4% in 2007 to 44.3% in 2009. Providing food at school helps students focus in class and feel cared for.
