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 students are bright, eager learners who come to school each day ready to explore new ideas. However, many of them arrive without a nutritious breakfast, which makes it difficult to focus, stay engaged, and absorb lessons effectively. Studies show that children who start the day with a balanced meal perform better academically, have improved behavior, and develop healthier lifelong habits.

This project will provide my students with individual cereal boxes, ensuring that every child has access to a simple yet essential meal to fuel their morning.

By removing hunger as a barrier to learning, I can help create a classroom environment where students feel supported, energized, and ready to succeed. When students’ basic needs are met, they are more likely to participate actively, develop confidence in their abilities, and build stronger connections with their peers and teachers.

Your support will not only provide food but also show my students that their well-being matters. With your help, I can give them the foundation they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond.
