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

My students are very hard-working and spend lots of energy during their learning and play days at school. They often need energy in between meals and get hungry, especially after Physical Education activities such as preparing for the mile run fitness assessment and various strenuous drills. They love getting snacks as a reward and enjoy the treats. My students also get thirsty and would benefit from using a water flask to refill water instead of drinking from one-time water plastic bottles. My female students would also greatly benefit from having feminine products and keep themselves fresh and ready for their day during school days.
