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

My Digital Media students are natural born creators, explorers, and artists. They are inquisitive, they want to learn, they're curious, they crave new learning experiences, want to search for meaning and truth and share their own stories through media. It is my job to facilitate and give them access to that knowledge and the skills they need to get the answers they seek here in high school and beyond as they enter university or the workforce. We, like many public schools, struggle with technology purchasing and we rely on your generosity to fill in the financial gaps that allow us to get the technology our students crave.

As young creators, they require the necessary equipment that can impact their final creative ideas, into powerful images that they can share with the world.

Since the start of our school year, there is a true sense of teamwork and support within the team. They are sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have intentions of pursuing a creative career after they graduate high school. Your donation will be a great starting point for their lives.

My Project

These items are specifically going to be used once we return to our classroom and in-person learning late this fall. Each item on the list has a specific purpose inside our classroom.

These items are specifically going to be used to maintain a clean and safe learning environment when my students return to in person instruction later this fall.

The Lysol spray will be used on keyboards in my Digital Media lab since this area is a shared space. Students will also be able to wear the gloves while using the shared keyboards if that is more comfortable for them. Disinfecting wipes will be used by myself and my students to maintain a clean table space that is germ free.

Masks will be given to students who experience a problem with the mask they have already worn to school. Accidents happen, especially with new accessories, and I want to make sure my students are able to maintain safety even when these accidents happen.
