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 Project

I teach in a very special school—the majority of the students are minorities (and did I mention 90% females?). Most of the students come to my school for the special majors that we offer. Not only do these students work hard on the academic courses, but even more so on the major classes they are passionate about. These students have visions: they want to be designers, businessmen/women, entrepreneurs, models, artists, and photographers. Working in a Title I school, I have seen firsthand how much these students are lacking.

Some students come to school hungry, freezing cold with no warm jackets in the winter, and/or without basic school supplies.

I wish I can provide them with clothes and/or food—but I am not able to. So the least I can do is to provide them with school supplies that they need in school, but cannot afford.

This project includes some very basic supplies such as pencils, erasers, folders, markers, etc. My goal is to leave these supplies out at the back of the room, and students can freely take what they need (instead of feeling embarrassed when asking for supplies).
