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 growing children who expend a lot of energy throughout the day. Their bodies need constant replenishing. Sometimes, they don't have time to eat breakfast at home and they don't make it to school for our free breakfast. My breakfast nook is always available to them.

Breakfast bars and cereal will be provide my children with the energy they need to learn throughout the day.

Throughout the day, children can ask for a snack to fill their tummies.

At the end of the day, they may be running low on energy and may need a little boost to provide them with the stamina to keep trying and to focus so that they can continue to apply themselves until 3:00 pm. Student need only show me that they are hungry, tired, or not feeling well, and they are welcome to our snacks and breakfast foods to help them feel better and get energized. This helps them to stay focused, remain at school, and continue to learn.

Thank you for considering my children and my class for your donation.
