Celebrating 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
"Do we have to leave?" Our students are funny, compassionate, and imaginative children that enjoy exploring new skills and developing their literacy skills. They attend an elementary school in the Kensington section of Northern Philadelphia.
The room buzzes throughout the day as they laugh, sing, and share with their peers.
They are a thoughtful, loving, and hardworking bunch, excited to learn and grow. While they are motivated by their dreams and engaged by the opportunities presented to them, due to economic challenges within the community, school, and district, our resources are limited. As their teacher, I struggle to provide sufficient and enriching supplies that will support holistic learning. However, at our school, we are resourceful and do with what we have, but our students deserve and require more.
My Project
Growing 4th graders need fuel to keep them going throughout the day. This year our students have breakfast at 8:30 AM and lunch at 10 AM leaving them with a little over 5 consecutive hours without eating!
As an adult, I have a hard time focusing when I am hungry and I cannot imagine my students would be able to either.
By supporting this project, you will be supplying assorted snacks and a secured storage bin, so that my students can have quick and easy access to something to eat during that stretch of time. Keeping them full will keep them focused!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
