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 time has come for cold weather and that means more sniffles and sneezes. I am hoping to stock up on Kleenex tissue for the upcoming runny noses that we will have. Our current stock is low and we would love to have some soft tissues to wipe our noses. In the winter, I am finding that my children are a little bit more hungry at recess and after lunch. These granola bars will give them that pick-me-up energy to help them start and end their day.

Kleenex tissue will provide my students with a healthier classroom and granola bars will help to satisfy their hunger cravings in the morning and the afternoon.

It's just a few basics that we have been using a lot of lately. Thank you for considering my class for your donation as we prepare for the winter months.
