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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional nutritional snacks to make more effective learning choices. The snacks will provide a health choice for students who struggles with finding snacks through out the school day . These snacks will be extremely beneficial for some students that just need to get something in their stomach. They can also be used as an alternative source of motivation to complete school work! The snack will provide a satisfying snack needed for students who didn't get breakfast or lunch. The snacks are healthy and can be used for variation reason in the classroom.

I have seen how health snacks can positively affect my students work and demeanor and hope that the additional options will help us grow even more!
