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

With the pressures of academic performance looming as we prepare and approach PSAT DAY for freshman, I am reaching out to you this oh-so cold, New England spring season. I am launching a campaign to provide protein shakes, cookies, and snacks to help fuel the students in my test room on the day of their exams. As we embark on this endeavor, it's important to note that while our school specializes in trade education, I am dedicated to equipping our students with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in any career path they choose.

Regardless of their chosen field, academic success is a cornerstone of their journey, and providing them with the tools to excel academically is paramount.

By offering protein shakes, cookies, and snacks to fuel their minds and bodies during exam periods, we are investing in their overall well-being and setting them up for success, no matter where their aspirations may lead them. This support is crucial as many of my students depend on our school community for free meals and snacks on a regular school day.
