Celebrating 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 Students
My students are a group of curious, joyful people. They enjoy being at school and are eager to share in class. Every day, they show respect, are responsible, and are safe. They are wonderful students and will be even better adults.
These students are in a unique position, in that they are all in a bilingual program, receiving half of their instruction in English, and half in Spanish.
They are persevering and working hard toward bi-literacy to put themselves in a better position for their futures. It is exciting to see how much they grow every day, both academically and personally!
My Project
I am asking for a mini fridge to keep school snack cold. As a Title I school, we are given fresh fruit or vegetables two-three times per week. It is cut into portion sizes by the kitchen staff, put in a gallon-sized bag, and delivered to our classroom in the morning. Perhaps it goes without saying, but it does not keep well sitting out all morning.
When our snack time comes in the afternoon, snack has been sitting at room temperature all day and is often a warm, mushy mess.
Therefore, a lot of our produce ends up in the garbage. Students do not want to eat wet, mushy fruit or vegetables, and I cannot blame them. I am asking for a mini fridge to keep students' snack cold, to prevent it from spoiling prematurely. This will help us waste less and eat more of the snack provided through our Title I grant. Thank you, in advance, for any help you can provide to help us get a cool place to store our snack!
