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

The snacks and materials I am requesting for my students already have a designated place in our classroom. I have carefully planned where everything will go—all we need now is your support in bringing these resources through our door!

Providing snacks and games is essential for helping my students stay focused and energized throughout the school day.

With various healthy options, these snacks will give them the boost they need to succeed academically. Well-nourished students are better equipped to engage in learning, and having access to snacks ensures they remain attentive and ready to absorb new information.

In addition to supporting students during class, these snacks will be an important part of our field trips, keeping students fueled and ready for hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom. For those who may not have access to enough food at home, I will also send snacks home to ensure they have something nutritious outside of school. Your support will make a meaningful difference in helping my students thrive!
