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

Every day my students come in and start the day with our social studies lesson. I teach them social studies with a focus on community and being a model citizen. They then start reading and language arts where they are taught skills they will need for the rest of their life.

Many of my students come from very large families that are supported by very low incomes.

Some have told me they have up to three families living under one roof. Many others have parents who are divorced, or fathers that live in Mexico. These kids face many obstacles in their daily life. It is inspiring to see that they still have a drive to learn.

My Project

Since winter is about to start these Lavish Home Fleece/Sherpa Throw Blankets will help them stay warm at night. This will not only benefit the students themselves, but the siblings many of them share beds with. With a good nights rest they will be able to come to school alert and ready to learn!

Since this request is for life essentials, the students will use the blankets at home, but will reap the benefits of them in school as well.

It will impact their lives by knowing that they are cared for. They will see that schools do not solely care for their academic development, but to make sure their needs are met as well.
