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

My students will be taking the NYS Math and Science Exams. I would love to help them get the energy they need to complete the assessments. My students could use a good start by eating something before the assessment.

Having a snack will brighten up their morning, which is a great way to start their day.

My students would love to have a snack before starting the exam, and this will give them some energy to help them get through the long day.

I would really appreciate it if you could help me put a smile on my students' faces and get them excited before the exams.
