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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I work in a low income district where we are starting to get many newcomer students. Many of my students do not have snacks or lunch daily. I want to create a snack cart that allows students to have snack items. They will be able to fill their lunch boxes with snacks and be able to eat breakfast daily in the classroom. A variety of chips would allow my students to have snacks for school and home, keeping hunger away. Snacks would allow our newcomers to stay in school and be full for a focused education.
