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

What I love most about my students is their determination and enthusiasm for learning. Even when language learning gets challenging, they show up every day with curiosity and a willingness to try. Their dedication inspires me to create a classroom where they feel supported and valued.

The snacks I’m requesting will serve as a small but powerful way to keep their energy up, especially during long lessons or after school practice.

A quick snack can help them refocus, recharge, and stay engaged. More importantly, it shows them that their efforts are seen and appreciated—helping to build a positive, encouraging environment where learning thrives.
