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

We are entering into the hardest part of our school year, state testing. Our students work all year long to show what they know and keeping them fed is important and motivational. The kids enjoy snacking during the long days of brain drain, they feel more confident knowing they won’t go hungry and can keep up the fuel necessary to do their best. Please help me snack-up these amazing beings that mean the world to me. This group is the hardest working group I have had in 12 years and they say is snack power. I have. Been spending my own money and even started a second job, but I could use a little help this spring to keep them going. We appreciate any and all donations. Thank you for thinking of us and our futures!
