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

I work at a District 75 high school in the Bronx. My students primarily have classifications of autism and intellectual disability. We are taking on a new initiative this year and overhauling our PBIS system (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports). Students will earn points for positive behavior and then redeem those points for prizes.

Please help stock our school store so that students can redeem prizes for their positive behavior!

My students have been working hard to follow school routines and expectations and to be positive citizens in our school community. Your donation will help ensure that students receive the recognition they deserve for their efforts.

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.
