Feed the Hungry Students!

Help me give my students the opportunity to fill their empty bellies so that they can better focus in their classes. My hope is to offer healthier options for students who often cannot afford to bring their own.

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

I have the pleasure of working with some of the most AMAZING students! Our campus was the first in our district to open a Wellness Center to support our students through some challenging times in high school. As the Wellness Center Intervention Teacher I get to connect to and work with students struggling with various mental health concerns. I have found that being able to offer them a small snack when they are in the center is very helpful. Often time they come to school hungry and rely on school meals to feed them during the day. I like to be able to offer a variety of healthier snack options however our site does not have the funds to purchase these items.
