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

Please help me support newcomers adjusting to their new environment. My goal is for students to remain focused on academic achievement by reducing negative environmental factors such as hunger.

It's essential to create a welcoming environment for immigrant students, especially those who have recently arrived in the country.

Hunger negatively impacts children's physical, mental, and academic learning. As scholars get distracted when hungry. Please help newcomers get snacks and water so they can stay focused on their academic activities. Please help the newcomers get water to stay hydrated throughout the school day. Thank you for your generosity. Your contribution is making a positive impact on the student's lives.
