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

"Do we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of Northern Philadelphia.

The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing and share with their peers.

They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I struggle to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support holistic learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.

My Project

It's back-to-school season and Philadelphia is preparing to return 100 percent of its students in a matter of a few short weeks! To ensure a smooth smart, I am requesting support in providing snacks for our students.

As a classroom teacher, time and time again, I have witnessed students get 'hangry,' or a shift in mood because they are hungry.

Providing these snacks will help maintain their balance, keep them focused, and happy. We want to meet our students' most basic needs, which will in turn help them be their most creative and attentive to class.
