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 students stay energized and focused by providing nutritious and satisfying snacks throughout the school day. With your support, I am to create a positive and nurturing classroom environment where hunger doesn't hinder learning, and every student can reach their academic potential.

In our diverse classroom, we understand that hunger can be a barrier to effective learning.

By providing healthy snacks, we can ensure that our students have the fuel they need to concentrate, engage, and activity participate in lessons, discussions, and activities.

Your generous contribution to my project will directly support the overall well-being of my fifth-grade students. By eliminating hunger as a distraction, you'll help create a positive classroom environment where students are ready to learn, actively participate, and thrive academically.
