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

Ambassadors will use the materials provided (specimens, dissection tools etc) to dissect and explore the specimen.

Our classes were able to apply the skills that they have accumulated throughout the year in a way that also afforded the opportunity to learn more about specific body systems of organisms.

Due to unforeseen budget cuts we are no longer able to provide the materials needed to conduct our Science Expo and our students will miss out on a meaningful experience unique to our middle school and their lives. We need your help!

Mr. Mendez One World Middle School - Edenwald Grades 6-8
