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 the nation of opportunity, we struggle in a crisis for our children health. Obesity is an epidemic in America. It does not matter your social economical status. How we eat, our behaviors in eating and the mentality of eating is affected by all people. Children learn from all different sources. So may it be that teachers be their guide to a healthier education and their eating behavior and healthier snacks.

Children learn best by the opportunities given to them.

By teaching children about eating healthier, thinking about healthier food and experiencing healthy foods, we give our children the possibility of a healthy lifestyle that will make a difference in their future lives.
