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

Please help me give my students the necessities they don't have to help them succeed in school. I have several low income and foster students in my class who come to school with ripped backpacks, unkempt hair, and hungry bellies. Some families don't have the means to replace their students' backpacks, though the strap is ripped off. A few students face dresscode violations because they want to wear their hoods to cover their hair. Many of these students rely on breakfast, lunch, and after school snack for most of their meals throughout the day. Please help me give these students new backpacks, hair brushes, and food to keep them healthy and supported in school.
