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

Students get hungry throughout the day and are in need of snacks. Students cannot learn effectively if they are hungry. By funding this project students will be able to eat a snack whenever they may need the extra brain fuel and energy.

Please help our students to receive snacks that will help them fuel their brains throughout the day.

A small snack throughout the day can do wonders for our students in staying engaged in their learning. Eight hours in school is a long time.

Students are able to get breakfast and lunch at school but that leaves many students hungry for a small snack throughout the day. These snacks will provide students with relief when they get hungry which in return will allow them to focus on learning rather than on the hunger.

Ms. Avila
Grades 9-12
