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 Project

Trenton, New Jersey, is a sanctuary city (and this is amazing!). Students from nations all over the world immigrate to Trenton with their families. The city, although economically poor in many areas, is rich in cultures and heritage from all corners of the world. We have a growing population of hispanic immigrants, most speaking their native language Spanish. Many of our students, both native and nonnative to Trenton, struggle to meet basic classroom needs each day. This means that it is extra important for us to make sure they have a classroom filled with both essential items that they can access at any time and exciting project opportunities. Their social/emotional well-being and mental health depends on knowing that they have engaging projects that learners of any cultural background can enjoy!

The drone I am requesting will provide our learners with an exciting opportunity to practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques through landscape aerial photography.

This drone will go a long way in ensuring our students have exciting learning opportunities that support their mental health and social-emotional learning. I am requesting these items for students to explore robotics and landscape photography for mindful relaxation. Students will be able to use them in our club!
