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

Last year, this question was asked many times. We always have extra breakfast and some snacks in our fridge, but never enough to have healthy snacks every day for all the students.

Sometimes children get hungry and my students do not bring snacks from home, so these snacks will stop the need for students to ask for a snack, therefore the students that are hungry will be able to eat without being singled out.

The containers will keep the snacks fresh and accessible.

My students are conscious kids that have shown me that they only use and take what they need.

I need these snacks for taking their minds out of feeling hungry and back to learning and interacting with their peers.

Please, help me provide my students with what they need to be successful in school.
