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

These items I am requesting will make a difference in my students learning because it will nourish their bodies and also alleviate my students families from having to constantly worry about bringing a snack for their child each day. Unfortunately many children in our community experience food insecurity, and with the rising costs for food it has only become harder for them. It is have been shown time and time again that children cannot learn properly when they are hungry, however, with your help, my students will no longer need to feel that! Please help our students grow healthy bodies and minds with a donation towards healthier snacks.
