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

My high school serves students who have lived in the United States for four years or less. There is a welcoming environment in the school with many support services, ranging from providing help in legal matters to meeting the medical needs of the students. The school allows the new immigrants to learn about the world around them while developing their English skills.

All the students of the school have diverse linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds.

The diversity of the school allows the students to develop respect for other cultures and values while finding out their place in this world and how they can bring change for better. Students also work collaboratively on projects designed to bring out the richness of their cultures, experiences, and personalities. Students have the opportunity to be placed in an internship in 11th grade that matches their career interests.

My Project

The materials and supplies I am requesting are to benefit and support our female students in their success. As international students, puberty is such an uncomfortable time for our girls. Some of our girls are not used to being in school while they are menstruating because of policies and laws they faced while they were back home and some of our girls are unable to afford necessary feminine hygiene. There are also girls who are very embarrassed to talk about menstruation, let alone ask for pads because their culture forbids the topic.

We keep a drawer full of hygiene items that students can come in anytime and take without feeling ashamed or judged.

This allows our girls to be able to pay attention in their class, without having the thought of staying in one uncomfortable pad all day, or fear leakage. We want our girls to be able to get the necessary support so that they don't have to compromise their education due to lack of menstrual pads
