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

For their Science Fair project my students collect data on lunchtime food waste and since then they have been conscience about not wasting food that ends up in the landfill. Help my students care for the environment by reducing lunchtime food waste. Since September my students have had homework folders, but they are falling apart, so we need new homework folders.

Garden Compost Bin will help us reduce food waste by composting our school lunches and turning it into soil.

Plastic Envelopes will help my students to organize and bring their homework to school.
