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

My students need snacks and coffee to remain focused and energized during school. These snacks will offer students a variety of snacks and treats that will give them a bigger boost during their school day. Some of the students in our district only get one or two meals a day, the ones from school. Many come to class hungry, which takes a toll on their abilities to learn and perfect. Some aren’t able to concentrate. A healthy mind needs food. I'd like to have healthy dry snacks handy for hungry bellies, such as cookies and crackers, protein bars, breakfast bars, trail mix, sweet treats, and chips when they don't have snack money. Students nowadays have more important things to worry about, such as grades, scholarships, and their future. They shouldn’t have to worry about not being able to concentrate because they’re hungry.
