Celebrating 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 Students
My students have special needs and special abilities. They come from a community where they all receive free lunch and breakfast. Some can barely afford school supplies. I did what I could this year in buying things that could get them where they need to be, but it isn't nearly enough. With children who are two to three grade levels behind, I'm left to get them to a point of growth. Supplying my students with classroom resources will give them the hope they need to realize that success is at their fingertips.
All students have a promising future, but that future needs to be ignited by their inner potential.
I want to set my students up for success, and that setup involves getting them the resources. They need to be challenged and pushed to the next level. Each student is different, but sometimes we can expect them to fall into a cookie cutter mold that is far beyond realistic. As any passionate teacher would, I want the best for my students.
My Project
I've heard the quote "Closed mouths don't get fed" plenty of times. The sadder part is, that I've heard hungry stomachs from my students who come to school hungry because they don't have food at home. Many times, we assume that our students' home lives are better off than they really are. However; I have found stability, a warm place, and food are necessities that aren't readily available to my students.
We often take things like food, clothing and shelter for granted, but school shouldn't be the only place a student can depend on for a hot meal.
Donating to this project will help my students take food home, and look forward to going home to something to eat. Having an empty stomach can make it difficult to focus. Please consider donating to this great cause.
