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

If becoming a teenager isn't difficult enough, not having what you need to stay healthy is worse. Students need food to maintain their focus and energy to learn. They also need hygiene items to do the same. A clean mind and body are essential in any learning environment. My list contains items we can use for care packages to students in need such as a breakfast, snack, and lunch item. I've also included deodorant, toothbrushes, sanitary pads and shower wipes. If an entire care package isn't needed then individual items can be given, as well. This is particularly helpful when the need is not long-term. For those that are, we have counselors available to assist with providing information to additional resources.

It's not easy being a pre-teen in need of food or hygiene products.

It's a difficult time of growth. My goal is to make this transition a little less stressful. I've also included an electric kettle to make heating oatmeal or ramen an easy task. I can't tell you how many students I see in the halls during lunch asking for food because they don't have lunch money or needing a source to heat their noodles they were able to obtain from another source.

Every students deserves the chance to eat and take care of their personal needs. I understand sometimes the circumstances just aren't in their favor and I can't turn a blind eye to these students that I see everyday. Knowing what their struggle is and that a simple act of kindness would make an impact. Please help me support my students by providing these student care kits.
