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

Students in urban districts often have to walk to school in the morning. Bussing rules often times call for students within a certain radius of the school building to walk to and from school. Many times, these students have to walk in the rain, cold, or snow if their parents are working the mornings and cannot drop them off directly.

One of my students informed me that her walk to school each morning is 45 minutes long!

This is longer than my commute in each day! Students like her need help from teachers and staff to ensure they are warm enough to get to and from school. Otherwise, sometimes they decide not to show up. If it were you, and you were faced with having to walk in the rain or snow to come to school without items to keep you warm and dry, would you bother to come?

This project requests reusable rain ponchos and Chapstick to give to students so they can keep warm while they walk to and from our building in cold or rainy conditions.

Please consider supporting this project for students who need all the extra warmth they can get! Kids with cold hands can't type or write effectively. Kids with cold bodies are more focused on keeping warm than on keeping their grades up. Kids with cold noses keep their heads down to warm their noses up. Kids that walk in the cold get sick in the cold! Let's keep the students in our school as warm and well-cared for as we possibly can this school year.
