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

My students are hardworking and dedicated, but many of them come to school without having had enough to eat, which can affect their ability to focus and fully participate in class. Providing snacks will ensure they have the energy needed to stay engaged throughout the school day, helping them remain alert and ready to learn. A simple snack can make a big difference in their attention, mood, and overall academic performance, allowing them to make the most of their time in the classroom.

The goal of this project is to eliminate hunger as a barrier to learning, ensuring that every student has access to the nourishment they need to succeed.

By offering a variety of healthy snacks, we can keep energy levels up and foster a positive, productive learning environment. My students are special because of their resilience and determination. Despite challenges, they come to school every day ready to learn, and by providing these snacks, I hope to show them that their well-being and success are important to us all. With your support, we can give them the tools they need to thrive academically and beyond.
