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

My students are an awesome group of English Language Learners in a Title I school. Most of them receive free breakfast and lunch at school, and these are sometimes the only meals they have throughout the day.

Help me give my students snacks to boost their energy on days they are tired and hungry, to motivate them to focus at the task at hand on days they are distracted, and/or to reward them on days they work hard, and achieve their academic goals of the day.

Like all students they have their good and bad days. Having snacks around can be a nice way to help them fill their tummies so they can learn better, open their minds, and feel cared for.

Ms. Castillo Miami Southridge Senior High School Grades 9-12
