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 any child in our school who is food-insecure. They get regular breakfast and lunch at school. Dinner and weekend meals are questionable. Food is more important for these families than buying school supplies and daily hygiene products. Please help us teachers provide the basics for this school year. Namely: backpacks to be organized.

Please help these children gain the confidence that comes with knowing they have all of the essentials to begin the school year - especially the quintessential backpack!

It is virtually impossible to achieve academic success when a child is misplacing papers and work due to not having a bag to carry their school supplies.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
