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

I have 32 enthusiastic students that are full of life and ready to learn every day. My 4th grade students come from low incomes areas. These students receive free breakfast and lunch every day. In addition to our free meal program, our school also provides free uniforms and backpacks full of school supplies. Many of our students are in difficult living arrangements so as a school we pride ourselves on being able to help them in various ways.

A majority of my students face many hardships in their everyday lives, so when they come to school it is a safe outlet for them.

My students come to school eager to learn and ready to do their very best. My students have adapted to new forms of learning and they have learned from one another by participating in collaborative work. These students are willing and ready to start their pathway to higher education.

My Project

For the past year our Student Council members have been working very hard to re-open our school store. The school store has been closed for nearly a decade due to funding. After much cleaning, reorganizing, and purchasing of materials I am happy to announce our Wright Way school store has opened it doors once again! Our 4th and 5th grade Student Council members will be running the store during their lunch period with volunteer staff members. The staff members will be assisting the students in keeping track of money, sales and stock. In order for our Student Council members to learn how a business runs and the importance of money, we would benefit from receiving a cash register and coin counter.

Learning about the importance of money now is the stepping stone to having our students ready for college and their future careers.
