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 teach 7th and 8th grade kids and they are the most amazing middle school students ever! They are smart, and silly at times, and all have beautiful personalities. Some days they are ready to work and other days their world is falling apart. But, one thing that always cheers them up is food. Snacks will get them working and ready to learn. This is why I am requesting chips, candy, and drinks.

One thing about middle schoolers is that they will focus if they are fed!

Sometimes I can get them motivated with words of wisdom, but food always wins, hands down! When their bellies are full, their minds are focused.

Your generous donation will help my kids refuel their brains and bellies to be able to learn. Thank you in advance for caring about our future!
