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 teach in a large urban public school in New York. The majority of our students are immigrants from very diverse backgrounds, including the Dominican Republic, Bangladesh, West African and Latin America. More than half of our student population is learning English as a new language.

While culturally our students are diverse, economically 94% of our students come from low-income households and qualify to receive reduced price or free breakfast and lunch.

Recently the city’s initiative, “Breakfast in the Classroom” has been a very successful program in our school, which ensured that our students received the nutrients and energy needed to begin their academic day.

Despite the day-to-day obstacles, our students work very hard to get into well-reputed high schools within the City. In the recent years, a few of our alumni got acceptance to the city’s prestigious specialized high schools. Our students need your support to fund resources to further their education.

My Project

This past school year, my students and I have attempted to create an escape den for ourselves by buying a lot of home furniture such as a fabric chair, a rug, a bean bag, and many fabric chairs.

We need your help to fund a handheld wireless vacuum so we can clean the chairs and all other fabric chairs which MUST be dusted often in order to keep our space clean.

In addition, we need your help in keeping our classroom clean overall by buying a broom/dustpan which we can use to clean up after classroom activities and any classroom spills/accidents.
