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

The 4th grade teachers really want to provide snacks to our students so they can be energized all day long. Many of our families are struggling financially and providing a light snack can be difficult for many. Staying focused on learning in all content areas is also tough on everyone, but most of all our students who include ELLs and Students with disabilities.

Providing snacks CAN make the difference between students learning and being successful or not being successful.

It is a simple request that will make a huge impact on our grade 4th grade students. They will be able to focus and keep their stamina up for the entire day especially since they have a late lunch. We appreciate any and all support!
