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

The snacks I am asking for will benefit my junior-level students, who need energy to get through their school day. These snacks will support my students by allowing them to be engaged in class content and understand the importance of having a healthy snack during this busy time for them.

The goal of this project is to provide my junior-level students with access to snacks that will keep them energized during their school day.

My students are currently navigating a busy time. They are in the process of preparing for the ACT in the spring, completing course selection, and thinking about plans they would like to do during the summer as they also prepare for their senior year. Some of my students have expressed that with all they have going on, they are investing plenty of their energy in their academic plans and aren't able to get something to eat. By having access to a snack, they will have something nutritious on the go while still prioritizing the plans they would like to make. My students are committed, engaged, and overall eager to pursue so much that these snacks will serve as another resource to get them through their days and be successful in all their endeavors.
