Celebrating 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 students continue to prove that children from low-income neighborhoods can thrive.
Our school sits in the middle of the poorest congressional district in the United States.
We have the third-highest percentage of single mothers in America and host some of the nation's highest childhood asthma rates. Ten years ago, our school was one of the city's lowest-performing schools. It was a chaotic place, simply focused on providing a safe environment for students to visit during the day.
Today, ours is a model school whose teachers embrace responsive classroom teaching strategies. Students' math scores have increased from their record lows by three hundred percent. Parent satisfaction and support for school efforts are high, teachers provide innovative and engaging instruction, and everyone involved with the school rates its leadership top notch. In large part, our collaborative and effort-focused school culture has helped students embrace a growth mindset; the idea that struggle and even failure breeds success. These lessons are embedded in everything we do.
My Project
All total, 300+ students move through our gym space every day. And at some point in each gym period, students sit on their designated floor spots to listen to activity instructions, process learnings, and transition in and out of their classrooms.
Keeping our gym floor clean for students is a huge task.
We have student helpers dust mop the floor between periods, and our custodial team does their best to do a more thorough cleaning once a week. But with the number of students transitioning in and out of the space throughout the day, the floor still gets quite dirty and needs a more thorough and regular cleaning than students, or our limited custodial team can provide.
The robot cleaners included in this project will provide a thorough sweep and mop of the gym floor every night, giving our students a clean floor to sit and play on.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
