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

Students transitioning from elementary to middle school have many opportunities to grow and build valuable relationships. Some will be anxious, excited, or even afraid to start this new journey. The one thing they will all have in common is an opportunity to grow, learn, and become better individuals.

The majority will be economically disadvantaged and will need academic and emotional support after a challenging year due to Covid-19 and other hardships.

My students will come from over six neighboring elementary schools all from low-income areas with over 80% being Hispanic and African Americans.

My Project

As the 6th grade school counselor, students enter my office seeking a refuge. They want to be heard, seen, and valued. When I speak to students there is not one that will not fidget, touch things on my desk, or just stare initially. I want to provide them with resources that will encourage them to feel comfortable to speak, draw, write, or just sit in silence as needed.

Anxiety, self-harm, suicide ideation, depression, abuse, peer and/or teacher conflicts are just a few of the issues that sixth graders as young as 11 years old enter my office with.

After a year of dealing with Covid, winter storms, deaths, failing grades, and isolation, I can't imagine the stressors they will start the school year with.

Each item requested will provide students with a safe haven and tools that will help them to process their feelings and emotions. They will know there is one place they can go to on campus and not feel alone. My office will be the place their social and emotional and academic needs will be focused on. Their first year in middle school will set the tone for the rest of their middle school career and with your help, they will be prepared to face whatever may come their way!
