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

We are a Title I school looking to make a difference with our students in order to prepare for them college, career, and beyond. We recently started the first middle school agricultural science program in our district and hope to create a space where our students can gain hands on Career Technical Education skills while also learning about nutrition and the environment.

New tools would give us the opportunity to help our garden thrive.

Our students are hungry for new and different approaches to teaching that meet their unique needs, and tools for our garden would help us to create a meaningful space for students to gain skills in many different areas.

At our school, we are hardworking. We are multilingual. We are from diverse backgrounds and cultures. We are excited about our future. We are good, and we want to be great.
