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

My school is small by public school standards; it is just under 900 students in a building that can accommodate up to 1,500. My U.S. History students make up almost the entirety of the junior class. I have cheerleaders; football, basketball, and volleyball players; theater, band, and art students; JROTC and honors society students. Some are shy, some are loud, some are bossy, some are sly, some are goofy, some will tell it like it is, and some will spare your feelings.

My students are diverse, but they all have one thing in common: they come from minority, low-income, hard-working families and live in some of the poorest, and recently gentrifying, areas of our cosmopolitan city.

Prior to desegregation, our school served as the only African American public high school for miles and miles. To this day, the student population continues to be about 50% African American, but the demographics of the area have changed. The school now serves a large Latino community, made up mostly of students fleeing the hostile regimes in Central America. Many have come as unaccompanied minors and have never had formal schooling.

76% of my students are reading below grade level.

My Project

Every year, I spend hundreds of dollars on supplies to make sure my students have an enriching learning environment. By Winter Break, we are often running dangerously low on the supplies we’ve been using all year. I am asking for a replenishment of these supplies so we can have the resources we need to review and refresh on the content for the US History EOC that is coming up in May.

We are in particular need of colored paper, highlighters, toner, Post-It Poster Paper, and audio-visual equipment — we struggle with reading and these visual and tactile aids help us a lot!
