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

Providing snacks to bilingual students who are new to the United States offers critical support on multiple levels—academic, emotional, and physical. These students, often from lower-income households, face significant challenges adjusting to a new language, culture, and education system. Regular, nutritious snacks during and after class can play a vital role in helping them thrive.

First, hunger is a major barrier to learning.

When students are hungry, concentration, memory, and energy levels decline, making it harder to engage with lessons—especially in a second language. A simple snack can restore focus and support cognitive function, enabling bilingual learners to participate more actively in class.

Second, snacks contribute to emotional well-being. For students who may feel isolated or overwhelmed, a welcoming environment that includes food creates a sense of safety and care. It signals to them that they are valued, which fosters trust and encourages positive relationships with peers and teachers.

Finally, for low-income families struggling to make ends meet, knowing their children are receiving something nourishing at school can provide critical relief. This not only helps students but supports the family unit as a whole.

In short, providing snacks is a small investment with significant returns. It promotes equity by meeting a basic need that directly impacts educational success and emotional stability. For bilingual students adjusting to life in a new country, this kind of support can make a world of difference.
