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

Snacks are vital for my students as they help boost energy, improve focus, and ensure they stay engaged throughout the day, allowing them to learn effectively and stay motivated in the classroom. The snacks, storage boxes, fidgets and other tools I’m requesting, will provide essential support that enhances focus, sustains energy, and ensures my students have the tools they need to thrive academically. My goal for this project is to create an environment where every student has the resources to succeed, both in the classroom and beyond. What makes my students special is their resilience, curiosity, and potential; despite challenges, they approach learning with enthusiasm and a strong desire to succeed.
