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

I have great intentions. I want to make sure my students are clothed and fed. I ask for the snacks for school and for home. I try to give Friday bags of food to each one of my students. Sometimes things may get a little difficult at home and this baggie of food helps out a little. I have done this in the past and some parents come up to me and thank me or just give me a smile. I love when my little ones get so happy to see the mac and cheese or spaghetti and meatballs. I am so grateful to be able to do this for the children and I hope to be able to continue. Thank You in advance.
