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

My students are smart, funny, beautiful, resilient and thoughtful people! I am so grateful to work alongside them everyday. Theyre come from tough backgrounds but manage to make beautiful peach lemonade out of lemons. They often come to my office asking for snacks as some of them haven't eaten at home or don't feel comfortable eating in front of someone. These snacks will also help towards my after school group, heart to heart, an all girls/ non binary group focused on uplifting each other in a safe space.

I am so grateful to work alongside them.

Ms. Lorenda Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
