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

I teach at a Title One Community school. In our community we have lost a lot of our grocery and convenience stores. Food is a necessity and hunger impacts learning. This grant will provide many delicious and non-perishable snacks for students to choose from during the day. I will display them on a shelf in my room. When students know that food is readily available they feel safe and loved at school. The snacks provide nourishment for their brains, and knowing they're fed nourishes my heart. Thank for feeding and loving my students, you make a difference!
