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

Everyday, students come to school with lots of enthusiasm to learn and enjoy being a part of our learning community. But sometimes, we have other students who come hungry, tired, and the motivation to learn is lacking.

This project aims to help our students with brain food and nutrients to help them succeed in school.

The food and water bottles that we are requesting will provide our students brain power and hydration to stay well and healthy at school.

We need our students to stay strong and be well throughout the year!
