Using Chips to Make a Difference!

Help me give my students the opportunity to hand out snacks at a school event since many come hungry. I want to be able to provide them with a special treat while they're supporting their peers.

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

This project is for students to lead the efforts for "no student to go hungry!" They will help pass out snacks for community members and peers during student showcases here at school! Many students come to school hungry, asking for daily snacks and I want to be able to provide them with a special treat while they're supporting their peers during their Fine and Performing Arts Events. This project will help my students feel empowered by helping during these school-wide celebrations!
