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

For this project, we are requesting chips, nuts, pringles, fruit snacks and some candy. Some kiddos stay at school all day long and don't grab anything to eat. I like to make sure they have snacks that are available for whenever they might be hungry. Some kiddos don't have food readily available or are in hurry to get out the door in the morning, and they don't grab anything to eat before coming to school.

When students are not hungry, they are more focused!

These snacks will assure the kids always have a snack at hand. I always have extra snacks for the kids. There are many kids that come to school hungry daily. I let the kids take snacks home if they want too.

Thank you for all your support!

Mr. Alcala Virginia Rocca Barton Elementary School Grades 3-5
