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

Every day, my students come to class eager to learn, but hunger can be a major distraction. By providing them with a simple snack, I can help them stay focused, energized, and ready to engage in their lessons. The snacks and drinks I’m requesting will give them the nourishment they need to concentrate, participate, and make the most of their school day.

My goal for this project is to ensure that every student has access to a snack so that no one has to learn on an empty stomach.

My students are hardworking, creative, and full of potential, and they deserve the support they need to succeed. With your help, we can create a classroom environment where every student can thrive. Thank you for being part of their journey!
