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 Students

For most of my children, this is their first experience being away from home and being separated from their families. Being away from home is difficult for most students but compounded with the pandemic, it can be a traumatic experience, none the less they come to school each day, full of energy, curiosity, excited to be here and ready to learn and play! To them, school is a place where they feel safe, loved, and valued. This difficult transition is also affected by their already existing life circumstances.

100 % of our children come from low-income households and receive free breakfast and lunch.

I believe that every student can learn, grow, and master educational skills to be successful. I am so blessed to have students who are passionate about school and excited to learn.

With your help, you can give them the basic tools necessary to ensure that the children have a successful school year.

My Project

Snacks will increase learning abilities in the classroom throughout the day. The snacks can boost their energy level for learning. Snacks enable the students to become more engaged in classroom activities. The snacks can help students to grow and develop more skills in the classroom. The snacks can help promote less behavior problems.

By providing the students with healthy snacks, we can increase higher academic performance in the classroom.

The snacks can help keep the students alert. A healthy snack can help encourage concentration and re-energize tired students. In addition, snack breaks can help students perform better on tests.
