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 Students
Our students have risen from many obstacles in life to get to this point. They are in a school that is still trying to recover from Hurricane Harvey. They are in a place where they are striving to do what is right, despite the constant pulls in the opposite direction. These students are eager to find personal successes and share them with those around them.
These students this school year will be able to show what they learn through engagement in everyday tasks.
What they accomplish this year will benefit them for the rest of their life.
My Project
The government shutdown was the inspiration for building this food pantry. We had our first distribution day on April 1st and almost depleted our supply. This was with helping a total of about 20 families since the donations first rolled in.
It is time to build a more permanent food pantry for emergencies and for our students who always stand in need of more food.
Our school provides free lunch for everyone for 3 meals, but that doesn't mean that their family is fed.
By helping provide food, our students can be assisted a little bit. There is an obvious need and any assistance in keeping our shelves stocked is greatly appreciated!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
