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

Our public high school is in the heart of Brooklyn, NY, and all of our students are recent immigrants to the U.S., hailing from South Asia, Central America, West Africa, and East Asia, and other corners of the world. They represent a variety of different educational backgrounds, native languages, religions, cultures, and world views. What brings them together is a common eagerness to be at home in this country.

The majority of our students are from low-income families and many of their parents have lost their source of income during the COVID-19 shutdown.

This makes it especially difficult for our students to be prepared to start college in the fall. On top of economic stress, our seniors are battling isolation and the uncertainty of what comes next for them. With COVID-19 keeping us apart from each other, we need to support our students more than ever.

My Project

D. and S. are a dynamic duo both in the classroom and out. Siblings originally from Haiti, they now live in Brooklyn and just graduated from high school with flying colors, despite the difficulties of COVID-19.

Please help propel these stellar students into college by funding basic school supplies for them like notebooks, pens, backpacks, and water bottles.

By funding these items, you will help lighten the financial burden on their family and will provide a joyful send-off to two students who will be dearly missed by our high school.
