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

In our middle school, many students come from low-income backgrounds, facing various challenges that can impact their learning and emotional well-being. This project aims to provide essential resources that will create a supportive environment and enhance their overall school experience.

1.

Healthy Snacks: Access to nutritious snacks will help combat hunger and provide students with the energy they need to focus and participate actively in class. This small but significant support can improve their concentration and learning outcomes.

2. Fidgets: These tools are vital for students who struggle with anxiety and restlessness. Fidgets can help them manage their emotions and improve focus during lessons, allowing for a more productive learning environment.

3. Fan: A fan will ensure that our counseling space is comfortable, helping students feel at ease during discussions. A comfortable environment encourages open communication and better engagement in counseling sessions.

4. Laminator: By using a laminator, I can create durable visual aids and informative materials that will be accessible to students throughout the year, reinforcing important concepts and information in a way that is engaging and long-lasting.

Project Goal:

My goal is to foster a nurturing and supportive environment that addresses both the emotional and physical needs of our students. By providing these resources, I aim to enhance their learning experience, improve their emotional resilience, and support their overall well-being.

Together, these items will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, empowering them to thrive academically and personally despite their circumstances. Thank you for considering this project to support our incredible students!
