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

The goals for this project are to ensure that our students have their essential needs covered for Summer Break. Our students rely on the school even during the Summer months for food. Many participate in our Summer programs and eat breakfast and/or lunch at school.

Helping our students stay healthy and cared for is a big part of our school function.

The items requested will help students receive the proper hygiene and nutrition they need to ensure their basic needs met. Many of our students look forward to the food incentives that they receive for meeting their goals.
