The impact area we will focus on is Civic Engagement & Leadership. Before students can feel like a part of their community, and be aware of the impact they can have, they need to know that this goal is feasible through the example of others. They need to feel pride in their ancestry by understanding their forefathers'/foremothers' real contributions. We seek to educate and empower our school community, so that this can lead to sustainable change and create pride. Through this pride, we can accomplish great things and set our sights to new heights.

In the short term, I anticipate that by understanding the accomplishments of their Latino(a) predecessors, the students at our school will build some community and cultural pride in themselves and believe that they can accomplish their interim and long-termed goals. They will also hone their artistic abilities and learn technical skills around Photoshop and what it takes to create a product / design on the computer that is intended for production.
