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

Many of our students and their families are facing food insecurity. For many, school is the one place and time where they can depend and rely on meals. I like to have shelf stable food and snacks available so that students can grab what they need for the weekend or during extended breaks for the holidays. As an educator, I feel it is important to support students and their families beyond academics and the classroom whenever possible and to remove or alleviate any barriers that students may face to being able to focus on their learning.

My goal for this project is to ensure no student goes hungry, encourage regular attendance, and give our youth the stability and care they need to succeed.

This project aims to remove obstacles to education and to foster a supportive, stable learning environment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
