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 Project
Ever try focusing when you are hungry or coming down from a sugar rush? We all know the connection between how we feel and how we will perform. Often, my fast growing students have trouble staying focused due to distraction driven from hunger. My students are constantly inundated with advertisements for sugar-ridden, highly processed foods.
This is particularly the case in the low-income community surrounding our school.
I want to create a resource in our school wellness hub where students can quickly get a healthy snack and get back to class. These will be paired with our school wellness initiatives promoting affordable, accessible food choices.
More than half of students from low‑income households
