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

I’m Mr. Smith, a 7th-9th grade History teacher at NDJSHS in NC. My students are eager learners, but like all kids, they need fuel to stay focused and energized throughout the day. This project will provide them with a mix of nutritious snacks and fun treats like Takis and fruit puches to keep them motivated and ready to learn during our 1-hour and 40-minute blocks. Many of my students face challenges that prevent them from bringing healthy snacks to school, which affects their concentration. By offering a combination of healthy options like yogurt and applesauce pouches alongside occasional treats, I can help them stay engaged, focused, and excited to participate in class. Providing rewards for achievement and effort not only provides equity but encourages students to reach their own goals. Setting and reaching goals leads to a more productive classroom and society that will help balance the playing field of life without government intervention.Snacks play a crucial role in keeping energy levels up, improving mood, and creating a more inclusive classroom environment. This project will not only provide essential nutrition but also offer rewards for hard work, building a positive atmosphere where students feel valued and motivated.Your support will make a real difference by ensuring my students have the nourishment and encouragement they need to thrive academically. Thank you for investing in their well-being and success!
