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 school is located in a large urban city. Of the 3,100 students 94% are low-income, 10% of the students have disabilities, and 8% are English Language Learners. More than 75% of my particular students are low-income, have disabilities, and are English Language Learners. I teach my students not to let their personal home situations, English Language Learners status, or disabilities hinder their academic or social-emotional growth. In a Spanish classroom, we acknowledge that every student brings with them a culture that should be celebrated. My students are motivated in developing their cultural understanding and continue to seek opportunities in their respective communities.
My Project
After nearly two years of living in a COVID-19 world athletes and coaches are eager to seize opportunities where they can continue to improve their athletic abilities at competitive levels. However, this is still met with an abundance of challenges, especially at the high school level. Many student-athletes are required to choose sports or a job in order to provide income for their family members. As a result, there has been a decrease in the number of students actively participating in athletics. In this particular instance, many of our volleyball athletes are facing the constant worry of how their loved ones will cope with them at practices, games, and tournaments. These snacks and equipment are vital in allowing student-athletes to focus on all areas of the school, staying fueled and healthy, and finally improving their athletic abilities.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
