Minds in Motion, Snacks in Reach

Help me give my students snacks to stay energized and focused throughout the day, especially during long lessons and testing periods, because a nourished mind is a ready mind.

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 have the privilege of working at a Title I school where many of my students come from low-income families and households led by hardworking migrant workers. Despite the challenges they face outside the classroom, my students show up every day with a strong desire to learn, grow, and succeed. Their resilience and determination inspire me daily.

However, hunger can be a real barrier to learning.

Many of my students come to school without having had a full meal, and it’s difficult to focus when your stomach is empty. Providing snacks throughout the day helps keep them energized, focused, and ready to learn.

These snacks will not only support their academic success but also demonstrate to them that their needs are recognized and valued. Your generosity helps bridge the gap between potential and opportunity, and for that, we’re truly grateful.
