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

Some of my students come to school hungry. We provide breakfast but some students come late to breakfast and miss it. Also, some students just are hungry beyond the food provided at school. I want to be able to provide healthy options to students to have available no questions asked so that students can always have what they need. Having their bellies full is always going to help ensure that students are ready to learn and grow. These snacks will be available to not just my students but to any students who need them.
