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

In my classroom, I witness the impact of hunger on my exceptional 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade dual language special education students. To alleviate this challenge, I am seeking support for this project that focuses on providing essential snacks like Welch's Fruit Snacks, Nabisco Sweet Treats Cookie Variety Pack Oreo, Fritos Corn Chips Variety Pack, Pop-Tarts Baked Pastry Bites, Rice Krispies Treats Crispy Marshmallow Squares, and Kellogg's Jumbo Froot Loops Cereal snacks.

These snacks will serve as more than just sustenance; they will be a source of energy and focus for my students throughout the day.

Hunger should never hinder learning, and with your help, we can ensure that my students have the nutrition they need to thrive in the classroom. My goal for this project is to combat hunger and create an environment where every student can fully engage in their education.

My students are unique, each with their own strengths and challenges. Despite facing special education needs, they bring enthusiasm and a desire to learn. Your support will make a significant difference in their lives, fostering a positive and nourishing learning experience. Together, we can empower these extraordinary students to reach their full potential.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
