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

I am writing to you today to request your support for my first-grade classroom at Springhead Elementary School in Plant City, Florida. As a Title I school, we serve a student population with significant economic challenges. Many of my students rely on our school’s meal program as their primary source of nutrition.

I am passionate about providing a nurturing learning environment for my students, and I believe that proper nutrition plays a vital role in their academic success.

Unfortunately, due to limited school funding, the majority of classroom expenses, including snacks, come out of my own pocket.

I am reaching out to your company in hopes of securing a donation of your nutritious snacks to support my students. Your generous contribution would make a tremendous difference in their lives by providing them with a much-needed energy boost and helping to ensure they are focused and ready to learn.

I understand the demands on your company, and any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering my request.
