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

In our inner-city classroom, many of our students come to school hungry, which can make it difficult for them to focus and succeed academically. Whether due to financial struggles or lack of access to nutritious food at home, these students often face hunger during the school day, which affects their energy levels, mood, and ability to learn.

To help ensure that every student is able to focus on their education instead of their empty stomachs, I am requesting funding for snacks to provide to students throughout the school day.

Hunger has a profound effect on a student’s ability to learn. When children are hungry, they struggle to concentrate, become irritable, and often fall behind in their studies. By providing snacks, we ensure that our students have the energy and focus they need to succeed in class. This project will help remove the barrier of hunger and allow our students to fully engage in their education and reach their potential.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
