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

Being five years old in school all day can be difficult. Being five years old and hungry in school is very difficult. With this project, I want to be able to give my kids food throughout the day when they say they're hungry, they need a pick me up, and they need the extra energy to get through the day.

My kids need and deserve to have healthy snacks while they work hard in class, they should not have to worry about food when they are with me.

I want to give them the food security many of them need.
