FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Covarrubias's classroom raised $500

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

As the sponsor for our school's National Honors Society, I see it as my duty to try my best and show these amazing students what it is to give back. It is important that we show love and support for those students who are striving to do their best despite all the chaos they face daily.

In my past experience, students love to show the world they care and are compassionate for others.

It is for this reason that I seek these items to be able to give my students the tools to give back to our community. This project is inspired by Service Stars and will help my kids complete this student-led service project to help those vulnerable people in our community who struggle to obtain healthy snacks. These items are to help create snack bags for those in and around the school, and to help all students feel proud of the school they attend and the community they see very often.
