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

Thank you for reading! I am a School Nurse and a Teacher, so I understand the need for students inside and outside of the classroom. It is very difficult to try and concentrate on school work if you are hungry and worried about food. Please help my provide the snacks to my students that will help them in the classroom. I want to offer a variety of snacks for students, rather than just saltine crackers. This will help students get back to the classroom and ready to learn and grow!
