Help Me Feed My Students

Help me give my students snacks to be able to concentrate and learn. Students are always asking for snacks because they did not have breakfast or lunch. When students are hungry they cannot focus and do their best.

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

My goal for this project is to have snacks available for students who come to my classroom hungry. Students often ask me for snacks because they did not have breakfast or lunch. Sometimes, I have snacks I bought for them, but many times I don't have enough. Having snacks available would make a huge difference in their physical and mental health and their ability to focus and learn.

My students are special because they are intelligent, curious, and eager to learn.

If they are healthy and have the resources they need nothing would stop them from being successful and making their dreams come true.
