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 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

My students are eager and ready to learn from home this fall but need some supplies to make it successful. During the end of our last school year, my students struggled not with using the Chromebooks shared by our school district, but with being unable to hear or speak to their classmates easily through technology. Headphones are imperative to the success of my students since most live in a home where multiple people are working online at the same time causing cross chatter and audible distractions. The mics attached to the headphones are needed so my students can communicate and collaborate together similarly to how we would inside the classroom.

In order to make my classroom equitable, I want to use my school Tech Pick-Up Service to distribute 10 digital cameras, 100 notebooks, and 100 headphones to students in need of this technology to complete their assignments and stay on top of their coursework.

Many students in my photography course have a smart phone with a camera app which they can use to complete the assignments for class, but not all have access to a personal device or technology.

Notebooks are needed for all classes even as we transition into a digital world. Specifically in my art and design classes, grid notebooks are used to create custom artwork, fonts, poster designs, etc using the spacing technique of the grid to maintain balance in their art. These notebooks will also be distributed to students to be used at home for remote learning as well as if we transition into the classroom.
