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 once was a student who sat in the same seats as my high school students. I knew the struggle, thus I made the conscious decision to be the change I wanted to see. Who are we? We are a public high school located in Miami, Florida. Although we are one of many, our school is known to be a historical landmark positioned in a small area called Overtown.

Although our school is rich in history, students lack access to various resources, which as a result, affects their level of motivation and academic success.

We are a Title I school, which means more than 90% of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Students from this violent, stricken area are from low-income housing developments or shelters. Like most children, our students are curious, eager, and open to new experiences. Unfortunately, their economic situations do not allow them the opportunities afforded to other students. It is my desire to show my students that success can come from our community and with your help, I believe this can be done!

My Project

"Ms. Alphonse, when is lunch ? I missed breakfast this morning because the train was running late. Do you have any snacks ? I'm hungry !" Just a few of the statements I hear on a daily basis.

Students are unable to engage in learning content, if they are hungry.

That is why I need your help. Please assist me in bringing snacks into the classroom that would be accessible to all students. As an educator, I would like to do what ever it takes to ensure that my students are happy, healthy, safe, and learning. Providing these snacks will not only motivate them to attend class, it will remind them that I am here to support them not only academically, but mentally and physically.
