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 joined our High School in Newark NJ two years ago. My first year I was in shock to see kids walking 30 to 40 minutes to attend to school. My passion for teaching and to help others made me fall in love with my job. My first week was a challenge since every staff in the building multitasks to help kids in the school. Principal C and VP Long are doing a fantastic job. However, we need a lot of help. During the school year my program was invited to many different events and competitions.

We were invited to Skills USA event and my kids had to exchange ideas with high school kids from other schools.

It was heartbreaking to hear my kids in the bus talking to each other about the equipment other schools have and how nice would it be to have laptops with complete keyboards, 3D printer, Smartboard in great condition, jackets to participate in events of Skills USA, etc.

The students population from my high school are African American and Hispanics. The neighborhood has many of the challenges facing older city neighborhoods throughout New Jersey, including poverty, high crime, challenged schools, abandoned buildings

My Project

My students will be able to print door stoppers, pen holders, key chains, hall passes, usb outlet covers, mugs to collect funds to support the Skills USA West Side Chapter and to improve their engineering design skills.

Last year we did not have enough funds for uniforms and we had to attend to an event of Skills USA as the only school with no uniform.

It is heartbreaking to see other kids with uniform and the kids from my school wondering why we can not afford uniforms.

The 3D printer will help my kids to see their designs printed before any competition or event outside the school.
