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 a middle school social worker in the South Bronx seeking funding for healthy snacks for my students.
The school day is long and our students often complain of hunger mid-day.
Due to Covid-19 protocols, our students are required to remain in one seat for the entire day and their energy dips greatly in the afternoon hours. I see the effects of this drop in energy emotionally as well as academically. They become distracted from lessons and their mood becomes more edgy. No one can function at their best when they are hungry.
Having healthy snacks to provide to my students in the afternoon will boost their performance in school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
