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

We see several students daily; some don't eat because they don't like lunch or they just didn't make it in time for breakfast. For that reason, students start to get headaches due to nothing being in their stomachs which makes it harder for them to be able to concentrate during instructional time. By having a few snacks for them to eat here, they will be able to at least hold on until their lunch break or dismissal time. The post its', expo markers, pens, file folders will help keep the students updated with daily news as well as keep their files in place and in order. Anything is truly appreciated, I know many kids will be helped by sponsors like you, thank you.
