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

Help my school create a snack and food pantry so hungry students do not feel hungry. When they are hungry, they cannot concentrate. Many of my students babysit younger siblings and give up their food to their siblings. They come to school hungry and frustrated.

The Nutella, veggie chips, goldfish crackers, Nabisco cookies, pocky, pringles, chips and Slim Jim's will help feed the students who come into school hungry or who are hungry throughout the day.

My students will come to me in the morning and tell me that they aren't able to do their work because they are super hungry.

This project will allow me to support their basic needs (having a full stomach) before meeting their academic needs. I have worked with my students for so long, and when they are hungry, their behaviors tend to increase. Please help me support them with all of their needs.
