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

My students are manly inner city boys and girls who came to America to live the American dream. Many of them had to leave their Moms and Dads behind and take residence with friends or distance cousins. My kids are just that kids.

My students want to learn a skilled trade so they can not only help themselves but their younger brothers and sisters.

My students work hard in school and even harder outside of schools. As a CTE teacher I get the chance to be with my students for 3+ years, this allows me to not only be their teacher but a mentor and upon graduation their friend.

My Project

As the lone automotive instructor in a small CTE School, I take great care in making sure my students not only dress properly for their safety but also so they fit in.

Many of my students do not have the resources to buy the proper uniform so they are safe in the shop, and many don't come to class because they feel they don't fit in.

I take it upon myself to insure all my kids fitted with the right uniform, for safety. I am asking for twenty-four short sleeve work shirts. Students work better when they feel they are part of a team.

I know with your help we can help build my students into one close tightknit team.
