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

Our high school serves students from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds who live in the school catchment area and across the city. We recognize that in providing students with an education we also have to be mindful of the needs of the whole child which also includes food, shelter, clothing and other necessities of life.

Over the years, we have seen an overwhelming need for basic necessities for our students due to financial hardships, housing instability, and food insecurity.

Furthermore, we have seen these same challenges magnified to a larger scale within our surrounding community through community outreach and local partnerships with other family serving organizations (daycares, churches, tutoring programs). Therefore, we have committed to creating a sustainable program that serves our school community and extended local community to address student and family barriers to learning and living.
