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 Project
Providing food for bilingual students in the classroom is essential, especially in today’s political climate, where immigration policies and economic challenges can create instability for many families. Many bilingual students come from immigrant or low-income households where access to nutritious meals may be limited. Hunger can make it difficult for students to focus, retain information, and fully participate in their education. By ensuring that bilingual students have access to meals, schools can support their academic success and overall well-being.
Beyond academics, feeding bilingual students also fosters a sense of inclusion and safety.
In a time when political debates around immigration and language access can create fear and uncertainty, schools should be a place of refuge. Providing meals sends a powerful message that all students, regardless of their background, are valued and cared for. When students feel supported, they are more likely to engage in learning, build relationships, and develop the confidence needed to succeed.
Ultimately, feeding bilingual students is about more than just nutrition—it is about equity and opportunity. No child should have to worry about hunger while trying to learn. Ensuring that every student has access to food allows them to focus on their education and reach their full potential. In this political climate, where bilingual and immigrant communities often face additional challenges, providing meals is one of the simplest yet most impactful ways to show that education is for everyone.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
