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

I once was a student who sat in the same seats as my high school students. I knew the struggle, thus I made the conscious decision to be the change I wanted to see. Who are we? We are a public high school located in Miami, Florida. Although we are one of many, our school is known to be a historical landmark positioned in a small area called Overtown.

Although our school is rich in history, students lack access to various resources, which as a result, affects their level of motivation and academic success.

We are a Title I school, which means more than 90% of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Students from this violent, stricken area are from low-income housing developments or shelters. Like most children, our students are curious, eager, and open to new experiences. Unfortunately, their economic situations do not allow them the opportunities afforded to other students. It is my desire to show my students that success can come from our community and with your help, I believe this can be done!

My Project

These books will make a big difference in my classroom because my students are learning the importance of reading. Our school is currently located in an area that is surrounded by families who have little resources and minimal access to public libraries. Because of this, we want to make sure that we expand our library with books that grasp the minds of high schoolers.

We realize that reading, gaining, and expanding vocabulary is pertinent in our classroom and we want to ensure that everyone has the chance to be expose to our literacy rich environment.

Research says, active libraries help students acquire language, vocabulary, and interest for reading. I believe my students will be motivated and eager to do this only if the books they are reading are based on their interest. I would like all of my students to experience learning in an enjoyable environment and gain a love for reading. With your help, we truly believe this can be done !
