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 students are the kindest and most motivated kids I know. They come to class and have meaningful discussions about difficult topics; they consistently surprise me with their insight and depth of knowledge.

Our high school is part of an inner-city, low-income school district.

These kids are used to always getting furniture and books and supplies that are bottom of the barrel and classrooms that are more institutional than inviting; however, they show up every day willing to look beyond those hardships and make the most of each day.

Furthermore, all of my students have taken the extra step to success by signing up for advanced classes and degree programs that require much more of them than the average student. With the IB program, my students are striving to receive not only their high school diploma but also an International Diploma that could get them into any international program. One of my current students wants to become an interpreter for the UN, and she wants to start by going to college in France. She already speaks three languages!

These kids are amazing, and they deserve the absolute best that we can offer.

My Project

The library is the center of student and teacher living in our school. Students go to read, study, do homework, or just to relax. Teachers go there to find materials for creative projects, use the technology, or also to simply relax.

The tools in this project will make our newly renovated library space for all to enjoy and utilize, from teachers organizing classroom projects to students making buttons and posters for class government and fundraisers.

Our library has recently gotten a facelift, and our new library wants to make sure that she can offer assistance with all manner of projects and chances to learn new skills. In the center, she is building an area for students to lounge and read or simply to take a brain break. The bean bag chair is only a part of that, but it would be a great addition to what she's already managed to do using her budget.

The tools that we've requested are also for both teacher and student use. In updating the library, she's also created a work station that is accessible to all. For this, she would like to include a button maker for campaigns and fundraisers, a large hole-punch for projects, and a Cricut machine to allow us to make club shirts, signs, and myriad other things without having to ask for money or fundraise to buy these things from other companies.
