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

My students come from a low-income community that faces many obstacles. Many of them do not have enough at home. In addition, they engage in rigorous activities throughout the school day, such as physical education and math learning activities. The requested items will be provided to students when they are hungry and as a treat for their hard work.

Please help honor my students' preferred snack choices while they learn during school.

Another reason I'm requesting these treats is that our school is working on improving students' discussions in math and science. To motivate students to have discussions, students can earn a snack as a little reward. As mentioned before, the items will also be given out based on student needs. The snack choices were also selected based on students' preferences. Thank you for your support and donations.
