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 have been working extremely hard and have made tremendous improvements. Most of the time they feel hungry by an hour and half after breakfast since its very minimal. They work better when they are fed and are not hungry since the brain requires nutrients to function at its optimal. The items that I have selected are stuff that I would normally bought out of my pocket, therefore, if these items are funded, it would go a far way in keeping these students focused and will allow them to continue to do well.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
