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

My amazing students are bright, curious, and eager to learn. However, sometimes basic needs can create barriers to their success. This project aims to provide essential hygiene items and nutritious snacks so that my students can focus on what truly matters: learning and growing.

Having access hygiene supplies will help us maintain a healthy classroom environment and boost students' confidence.

Nutritious snacks will provide the energy they need to concentrate, participate actively, and reach their full potential throughout the school day.

Your support will directly impact their well-being and create a more equitable learning environment where every student has the opportunity to thrive. Thank you for helping us ensure fresh faces and full bellies in our classroom!
