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

For students to be active and engaged learners, it is important that their basic needs are met. Students often food insecurity and do not have enough to sustain them throughout the day. Many students struggle with having their needs met.

By assisting students experiencing basic needs insecurities, such as snacks, sensory items and school materials, I am able to provide an educational environment that is compassionate and respectful for those in our community enduring these challenges.

The care closet is a place students can go access hair ties, snacks, Crayola dough, fidgets, and more. The children having access to these items when in need will give them a sense of self-worth and confidence.
