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 requesting a variety of snacks to give my students during their long instructional day. When students feel hungry they do not concentrate in class therefore affecting their learning.

My students are unable to bring snacks from home due to financial reasons.

Students look forward to having snacks available to them when they feel hungry.

Snacks ensure a positive learning environment for them and a boost of energy when they feel sluggish. This request has proven to make a huge impact on my students in the past and any donations are greatly appreciated.
