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

I have 26 students who are hard workers, kind to one another, and eager to learn. These students this year have learned how to self reflect, find gratitude and show compassion to others during the course of this year. I am proud of my students always looking out for one another.

One thing these kids really need is adequate access to healthy snacks.

These kids are below the poverty line, and do not come to school with materials, food, or even adequate clothing when the weather changes. We are a title one school.

Earlier this school year we did a snack donation which we since have run out of after December. I noticed my students worked during the mornings and well into the afternoon knowing they had a snack to look forward to and were fed. A snack break can help rejuvenate students and give them more energy for learning. Academic success is crucial in any school, us being a school in East Oakland we have a lot of adversities our students and schools face, I'd love food to not be one of them. These resources are essential to academic performance. All learning minds need adequate nutrition and brain breaks to promote literacy and other academic skills. We cannot expect our students reading abilities to increase if their essential needs are not first met.
