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

Please help me provide snacks for the students that join us for occupational therapy, as well as various cleaning and maintenance products that we will be able to use all school year long!

Our students are growing, growing, growing, and are frequently looking for snacks to keep their minds going throughout the day, especially crunchy and chewy foods to address their sensory needs.

Having these items have helped motivate the students to complete their work effectively while filling their bellies with healthy options.

Many families in our community cannot afford snacks or cleaning/hygiene products to help supply their classrooms, so donations for these items are greatly helpful and appreciated!
