Help me give my students an opportunity to give back to our school community as they set up a pantry with non-perishable snacks and treats for distribution to those in need.
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 fifth grade kiddos are eager and curious to make a positive impact in our community. Every year we set up a kindness squad. I would love to give my students an opportunity to give back to people within our school community who are less fortunate by donating non perishable food and snacks through a student created pantry.
As an educator I want to make it our mission to fight food insecurities.
We can use the opportunity of creating a food and snack pantry using the requested food items, snacks and pantry storage containers to teach my students why it is important to give back to others when there is an opportunity to give back.
My vision for this project is to have students create a fully stocked pantry for distribution to those in need whether within our classroom or in our school community. I feel it is never too early to teach students about giving back, and taking action to support a cause that will make this world a better place.
Food insecurity is a real issue and it would bring me and my student great joy to provide these resources to those in need. I hope this will encourage my students to always think about others, and have empathy for those who are less fortunate.
Thank you for this opportunity to give back to our community and reduce hunger in our community.
