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

As the nice weather is approaching and kids are more active let's continue to support our families.

I would like to provide snack packs for our families to be able to give them a little extra support for those long days where kiddos leave hungry and tired and parents might already be over whelmed to help ease the ride home from school so kiddos can have a quick snack on the ride home and get home and work on homework or other duties while parents can work on dinner or getting situated.

To Make sure our children are as happy and involved in the classroom as possible we also have to provide support outside of the classroom
