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

Please help support my students in their learning by giving them access to healthy snacks. The snacks can boost their energy level for learning. Healthy snacks enable the students to become more engaged in classroom activities. It is so hard to focus if you are hungry. The snacks can help keep the students alert while engaging them in our vigorous curriculum. We are in the last 2 months of this academic school year and I can already see a shift in focus with the warm weather. I know by fueling their brains, we will keep their focus on academics while in the classroom!

By providing the students with healthy snacks, I'm investing in higher academic performance.

These snacks are essential in helping to maintain their focus and refueling their bodies to learn! The variety of snacks in this project are different snacks that my students have mentioned they enjoy.

Thank you for your generosity!
