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

As an educator, I believe that providing basic need items to students is crucial for their success. It is important to understand that students who lack basic necessities such as food, clothing, and personal hygiene items may struggle to focus on their studies. When students are hungry or uncomfortable, it becomes difficult for them to concentrate, which can lead to poor academic performance. By providing these basic needs, we are not only ensuring that students have access to the resources they need to succeed, but also demonstrating that we care about their well-being.

Ultimately, it is our responsibility as educators to create a safe and supportive learning environment for our students, and this includes meeting their basic needs.
