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 fifth grade kiddos are eager and curious to make a positive impact in our community. Every year we set up a kindness squad. I would love to give my students an opportunity to give back to people within our school community who are less fortunate by donating nonperishable food and snacks through a student created pantry in an effort to engage in a community service program.

As an educator I want to make it our mission to fight food insecurities.

We can use the opportunity of creating a food pantry where we presently have an existing refrigerator available within our pantry area in which we store left over breakfast and lunch items from our cafeteria (we will use requested plates , napkins and plastic ware to serve these items) and existing snacks in addition to the requested food items and additional snacks to teach my students why it is important to give back to others when there is an opportunity to give back.

My vision for this project is to have students create a fully stocked pantry for distribution to those in need whether within our classroom or in our school community. I feel it is never too early to teach students about giving back and taking action to support a cause that will make this world a better place.

Food insecurity is a real issue and it would bring my students and I great joy to provide these resources to those in need. I hope this will encourage my students to always think about others and have empathy for those who are less fortunate.

Thank you for this opportunity to give back to our community and reduce hunger in our community.
