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 Project
In our inclusive learning environment, we recognize the unique needs of students, and one critical aspect we aim to address is their nutritional well-being during the school day. Many of our students face challenges that extend beyond the academic realm, and hunger is a barrier to their learning experience. We are embarking on a project to provide nutritious snacks tailored to meet the dietary preferences and sensory sensitivities of our students with autism.
The snacks we are requesting are not just sustenance; they are a means to create a more conducive learning environment.
Hunger can be a significant distraction for anyone, and for students with disabilities, it can exacerbate challenges related to focus and sensory regulation. By having access to appropriate snacks, we intend to mitigate hunger-related disruptions, allowing our students to engage more fully in their learning experiences.
Our goals for this project are twofold. Firstly, we aim to ensure that every student in our program has access to snacks that are not only nourishing but also align with their specific dietary needs and preferences. Secondly, we want to create a supportive and inclusive atmosphere where our students feel understood and cared for.
What makes our students special is their resilience, unique perspectives, and diverse abilities. They bring a wealth of untapped potential to our classrooms, and by addressing their basic needs, we are paving the way for them to thrive academically and socially. Your support in providing these snacks will make a tangible difference in their daily lives, fostering an environment where they can truly flourish. Together, let's nourish not just bodies but minds, ensuring that every student, regardless of their neurodiversity, has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
More than half of students from low‑income households
