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

The times that we are living in are affecting everyone, even my littlest learners.

There are times that these children come to school unbathed and hungry day after day.

The meals that they receive at school are important to them when they are at school. But unfortunately, when they are not at school, many of their parents struggle to provide basic needs and food for these kids. This project will help to provide easy to prepare meals, snacks, toothbrushes/toothpaste, body wash/shampoo, and even lip balm for their chapped lips! The wrap will be used to wrap the materials to send home. Everything they need to be comfortable, thriving, and ready to learn.
