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 absolutely love the enthusiasm and curiosity my students bring to the classroom every day. Their eagerness to learn, explore, and connect inspires me constantly. Providing back-to-school snacks will give them the energy they need to focus and engage in their lessons.
These snacks serve as more than just a treat; they create a positive and nurturing environment.
When students aren’t distracted by hunger, they can fully participate in activities, collaborate with their peers, and absorb new information more effectively.
By ensuring that every student has access to snacks, we foster a sense of community and support. It also shows them that their well-being is a priority, allowing them to thrive academically and socially. Together, we can make this school year a fulfilling journey of learning and growth!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
