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

The middle school that I work at has been asking our FACS and Foods students to cater certain events. We currently do not have any supplies that could be used to help with that. Some items that we may need include ice chests to keep drinks or food chilled and a wire rack to transport our items quicker.

These items will help my students learn to cater larger school events!

We are hoping to get these items now so we can begin to use them at the beginning of next year. Students will be putting their life skills to use in the foods that we will make to cater each event! Thank you for your help!
