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

Throughout the day I often have students that don't seem themselves or they seem sick or upset. When asked what is the matter they often tell me they need something to drink or their belly hurts from being so hungry.

This project will provide me with the resources to give students in need a healthy drink when they are thirsty or dehydrated and a healthy snack when so they can successfully learn throughout the school day and be physically active, even when they weren't provided with it at their home
