Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
There is little that brings me more joy than hearing the word "Namaste" uttered in the hallways of a public middle school. I teach yoga as an elective in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. It is a wonderful program incorporating SEL practices, mindfulness activities, and physical movement to help our students access a safe space both within the school community, and within themselves.
According to the school's website, almost 80% of our students come from low-income families.
Many of my students are English Language Learners. Each one of them comes to school with a unique set of challenges and skills. It is a joy to introduce yoga into their day and into their lives.
My Project
This will be my third year teaching yoga as an elective class for Boston Public Schools. I am thrilled that the yoga program is continuing, and need your help to get all the materials my classroom needs for a productive school year.
I have selected all new mats, mat wipes, and cleaning supplies for the room.
I am especially excited to be purchasing two enormous Jenga sets, which we will adapt into Yoga Jenga. In addition to yoga supplies, I have selected cleaning supplies and other items that will help the room be safe, efficient, and productive. It is an enormous ask, and I am hoping that the project will be funded and the items shipped before the end of summer.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
