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 get to work with the most amazing kiddos. They are smart, hardworking and beautiful young people. They also happen to have learning differences and need more support to access the general education curriculum.All of my students have an Individual Education Plan (IEP). Each IEP is a plan that includes goals and accommodations to help a student meet individual outcomes or goals beyond their current skills.Additionally, my students live in East Oakland, California, and face many obstacles including poverty, homelessness, learning English, drugs, and violence. Despite all of these factors working against them, they continue to preserve by attending classes, engaging with their peers, and working towards a better future for themselves and their families.When one of my students is having a rough day, the first question I ask them is, "What did you eat for breakfast this morning?" I'm devastated more times than not when I learn that my student has skipped eating breakfast. In some cases, my students do not have access to food at home or they choose not to eat at school. Many of my students complain about the quality of food offered at school and/or have dietary restrictions that prevent them from eating. Having snacks readily available in my classroom will help my students focus less on their grumbling stomachs and more on the academic task(s) in front of them.It's important for my students to have access to snacks because they sometimes go 5 or 6 hours without eating anything.

Knowing that they have access to healthy snacks at school will allow my amazing students to persevere and stay and stay focused on their work.

Your donations of food matters so much to the growth and development of these young people and we thank you in advance for your kindness!
