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 my students. They are eager to learn, full of energy, and always bring a positive attitude to class. However, many of my students come from families that face economic challenges, and hunger is sometimes a barrier to their ability to concentrate and participate fully in lessons.

Providing snacks like cereal bars, chips, and crackers will help ensure that students can stay energized throughout the day.

These simple snacks are a quick and easy way to fuel their minds, allowing them to stay focused, engaged, and ready to learn.

By having these snacks available, I can ensure my students don't have to worry about being hungry while they’re trying to focus on their schoolwork. Your support will make a huge difference in helping my students succeed in the classroom, both academically and emotionally.
