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

In our classroom, the specific items I am requesting for this snack project will significantly enhance the learning experience for my students by providing them with energizing snacks that support their focus and engagement throughout the day.

What makes my students special is their resilience and enthusiasm for learning, despite facing various challenges.

They come from diverse backgrounds and often have limited access to snacks. By ensuring that they have snacks available in the classroom, we are not only addressing their immediate needs but also fostering a sense of community and care. This project is a step toward empowering my students to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
