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 amazing fourth graders, who deserve the very best! They are fun, energetic and creative, and I love to showcase their spectacular talents. The school where I teach is considered "high poverty," so some students do not have the same opportunities as others. Everyone qualifies for free lunch in the Title 1 program.

Despite our economic challenges, our community is very supportive and makes our little school a great place to learn!

Although my students are not diverse in race and background, they are all creative by nature and very different in the way they learn. Our urban school is located in a community that supports the arts, STEM, and extracurricular activities. Many students come into school looking forward to simple things like taking a photo, singing a song, or getting a hello from a friend. For some of them, this interaction is the only positive part of their day.

My Project

The challenges in an inner city, high poverty school are usually not the ones that students encounter inside school grounds. Their biggest challenges are all of the obstacles they encounter at home and in the neighborhood. Our school community is very helpful and humbly provides what it can to help children succeed. A huge yearly expense is the cost of backpacks. They can easily tear or encounter zipper and pocket problems. Each students may average 2 to 3 backpacks per school year.

A new backpack will bring students a sense of pride in themselves and in the tools that help them learn.

Thank you Burlington for helping our impoverished community receive this vital tool for protecting everything that motivated learners hold dear. It helps our whole learning community move forward with one less obstacle in our way. Thank you!
