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 getting a new batch of kindergartners and I am very excited to meet them!

I have been a teacher for 16 years and I know that everyone learns better with a full belly and a nutritious meal, but sadly not everyone eats a nutritious meal and by the time it hits 1pm everyone is hungry!

I would like to obtain a variety of healthier snacks for my kindergartners to enjoy and help us finish out the day without feeling hungry and frustrated! I would like the paper towels to help with spills or cleaning after ourselves too!

Thank you for your consideration!
