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

With the donated items, I will create a classroom pantry that students can access when they are complaining of hunger or are extra sleepy and need a boost in energy. Snacks are also extremely motivating to my easily distracted students and will help them to focus on task at hand.

Providing students with nutritious snacks is essential for maintaining their energy levels, enhancing focus, and fostering a positive learning environment.

Many students face hunger-related distractions that impede their ability to concentrate and participate fully in classroom activities. By offering healthy snacks, we can address these challenges and support their academic success.

By donating to my students you are providing the opportunity to make sure all students have access to the fuel they need to succeed each day and the future to come.
