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 am so happy to be teaching 28 4th grade students this year. They are spunky, kind, and nurturing to one another. Each of these students come from low income households and almost all children recieve free breakfast and lunch at school, however do not have snacks.

I have started the school year off supplying students these first two weeks of school with nutritional snacks out of my own teachers salary to help these kids have access to healthy food midday.

I am unfortunately unable to financially keep up ongoing with this for the remainder of the year.

All children should have access to healthy and nutritional snacks daily. When students have access to healthy foods they are more likely to be engaged and present in the classroom to allow for new material to be registered into their growing minds. If students do not have access to nutritional food and designated breaks they become disoriented, and their focus is no longer on learning new material but rather their physical and emotional needs. It is a right for all children to have access to healthy food.

We are a Title 1 school, all of my students come from limited incomes and resources. We can use any help that is brought our way, and as their teacher I will be able to better educate my students when they are well nurished.

Your donation will supply enough snacks for 3.5 months, or 71 days roughly for 28 students. This will allow me to carry all my students through the first semester at least until Winter Break.

Our room cannot thank you enough!
