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 Students
Our students are 6th-8th graders in the heart of downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. We are a Title I school and 100% of our students are on free or reduced lunch. We have a large population of homeless students. One thing our students and parents consistently agree on is that our teachers, administration, and school staff make our school a safe and positive place to learn. Our kids are bright, strong and resilient and together we make up an amazing community.
My Project
At our middle school, 100% of students receive free lunch, and many of them do not have a reliable source of food at home. Most of our staff is familiar with this common scenario: a student is "acting out", irritable, or unable to concentrate because they're hungry. Many of our students have lunch at 10:45 in the morning and are hungry all afternoon after playing outside. It's simply impossible to focus and learn when your stomach is empty.
I am our school counselor, and every weekend I go shopping to stock my office with snacks so students can quickly grab some much needed energy on their way to class.
It's also important to me to have some treats available as a quick reward for good behavior or citizenship.
As you can imagine, with 500 students this can get pricey and supplies often run low!
If you contribute to this project, you'll make sure that there are simple, healthy snacks and a treat or two available for kids at our school this year.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
