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

We believe in nurturing a love for learning and providing our students with skills that will serve them for a lifetime. Many of our children face significant barriers to accessing educational resources that others might take for granted. One of the areas where this challenge is most evident is in learning about nutrition, cooking, and healthy eating habits.

To address this issue, we propose purchasing cookbooks that are age-appropriate, engaging, and educational.

These cookbooks will not only teach our students basic cooking skills, but they will also promote healthy eating, teamwork, and independence. By providing our students with these resources, we can empower them to make better food choices, encourage creativity in the kitchen, and instill a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will have a lasting impact on our school community. Without guidance and education, these children may grow up without basic cooking skills, which can lead to poor eating habits and health problems later in life. By donating, you are not only helping to buy cookbooks—you are giving children the tools to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
