Celebrating 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 Students
We are a Title I school in Southern California. Most of my students come from low-income families and many do not stay at the same school for more than a year. These students are shuffled from one school to the next due to overflow and busing restrictions. This contributes to an unbalanced education. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about those circumstances.
However, I can give these young learners a thirst for knowledge and the ability to use logic and communication to find information for themselves.
These students are mostly English language learners who crave and require countless opportunities each day to hear and use English with their peers. My students are impressionable and eager. I try to take advantage of that every day!
My Project
My students often come to school with no breakfast and go home to no dinner. I would like to be able to give each student a bar or bag of other healthy food to eat at recess. We are supposed to be a "healthy school" so we must be careful about what we offer to our students.
I would like to provide them with a healthy, filling snack to help them concentrate and give them energy to make it through the day.
There are many policies in place that require us to use individually wrapped items and not bulk boxes. I know that offering my students these items will help them in many ways, including academic success, personal health, and life choices.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
