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

All of our students are immigrants - our school has students from over 25 countries and they speak over 30 languages. What ties all of the diversity together is the reason that families chose to move to America - to fulfill their dreams and give a better life to their children. Our students are ambitious and they know they have to work double time to get ready for whatever is coming next. They have to learn English at the same time that they are learning math, science, and history that is new to them.

Teachers and support staff at our school go above and beyond to make sure every student has what they need.

For some students it's extra snacks, for some it's after-school tutoring, for some it's an extra sweater, and for some it's having an adult who knows you and can give you good advice. Our school cares about each individual student and every student here can find an adult who cares about them.

My Project

These warm jackets will help BINcA students stay focused on classwork instead of focusing on how cold they are. Being comfortable inside and outside of school is important. These jackets will allow students to be able to wait outside in the cold winter for the train and bus without getting sick. This will help our students come to school every day because they have the resources to do so. Some students come from large families and sometimes these families have to choose the most important necessities in their lives. Being warm is not always the top priority for these families. Our project hopes to help these students feel like they belong at school.
