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 amazing 2nd graders start school full of energy and curiosity, but by mid-morning, their tummies are rumbling. Our lunch period isn’t until 1:30 p.m., and many of my students come to school without snacks because their families simply can't afford them.

I've been doing my best to provide snacks so my students can stay focused, but it's become a financial burden I can no longer manage alone.

That’s why I’m reaching out for help.

With your support, we can stock our classroom with healthy snacks like granola bars, fruit cups, crackers, and more to bridge the long gap between breakfast and lunch. These snacks will help my students stay energized, attentive, and ready to learn throughout the day.

Thank you for helping me take care of these bright, growing kids!
