Celebrating 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
Our school sets a high academic bar that challenges students to expand their personal and academic visions of themselves. Through partnerships with outside organizations students learn by connecting with professionals. Students pick an academic focus in finance, technology, or language studies. It is a truly special place where we serve truly special children.
Hunger affects learning by curbing a child's physical development, inhibiting their ability to focus and perform, and limiting their future achievements.
I created this project to acquire snacks to store in my classrooms. I am a special education teacher and I often find that my students have missed meals, or simply have a long way to go between my class and their lunch periods. Food insecurity is an ever growing issue within the community I serve. So it is my hope to be able to provide a nutritious snack to any student who may be facing such insecurity in support of their success in my classroom.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
