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

Food for thought, food for success. Many of my students come to school without eating breakfast and have a very late lunch period. With the upcoming, important state exams approaching, I would love the opportunity to create snack bags for my student's to have on their ELA and Math testing days.

Help food fuel my student's academic success.

These snack bags will help give my students the boost to keep motivated and energized as they navigate their big exam days. These snack bags containing granola bars, cereal bar, life savers and mints, will help fuel their brains to give them the necessary food to fuel their brains on their testing days.
