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

We are preparing for a new school year which comes with new students and how they adapt to a new school. When the students return back to school they have to take several assessments in core classes to see where they are. These snacks will help them to refocus when they come to my class.

We also have students who will not eat breakfast or lunch at school.

Having something available makes each student feel comfortable coming to me for snacks. Students will be given snacks daily for incentives purposes.

Ms. Patterson River City Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.
