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

I work with a variety of high school-aged students who have various learning disabilities and individual education plans. As a result, my students receive educational services in either a sub-separate class or a resource room setting.

Many of my students come from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and could use additional support with with daily essentials, personal items, and school supplies.

My students already have enough challenges to face without the added factor of having enough food in their system to focus on learning. Some of my students have language disabilities, others experience challenges with attention, and others have social emotional impairments.

My students are sweet, funny, bright kids with diverse backgrounds and needs. Many are English Language Learners. They are a lively group of scholars and it's a pleasure to work with teens who want to do the necessary work to overcome their challenges in and out of the classroom. Even though they have learning disabilities, my students have drive and are destined for success. Anything is attainable when placed within reach.

My students need snacks to help keep them fueled throughout the day so they are not hungry or lethargic. Having access to grab and go items like cereal cups, granola bars, and pop tarts will allow my students he opportunity to fuel up and not be late to their next class. My students come from various home situations. Some of them may come into school late and miss breakfast. This can cause them to have a rough start to their day. All students should be able to go to their classes and learn without hunger hanging over them while they are learning.

Making sure that my students are well fueled will help them to be happy and more focused on their work.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
