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

I absolutely love the enthusiasm and energy my students bring to the classroom every day. They are eager to learn, ask thoughtful questions, and approach challenges with determination. However, one thing that can sometimes get in the way of their focus and energy is hunger. When students are hungry, it can be difficult for them to concentrate, engage in lessons, or fully participate in activities.

With this project, I am requesting snacks and treats to help keep my students energized and ready to learn.

A small snack can make a huge difference in maintaining their focus and motivation throughout the day, especially during long lessons or after recess. These snacks will help ensure that no student has to struggle with hunger while in the classroom.

My goal is to provide a positive, supportive learning environment where every student feels comfortable, focused, and ready to do their best. By offering snacks, I hope to reduce distractions and help students stay engaged, allowing them to thrive academically.

What makes my students special is their curiosity, resilience, and passion for learning. They come to school every day with excitement and an eagerness to grow, and with your support, we can make sure they have the fuel they need to succeed. Thank you for helping us create a classroom where every student can reach their full potential!
