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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Our elementary School promotes healthy eating habits among preschoolers. Teachers create engaging lessons for students to teach them about what healthy eating looks like. The preschool students are excited for learning and show others what they learn every day.

The Healthy Minds and Bodies project wants to promote healthy eating habits among early learners.

This project will provide students with a library with books about healthy snacks and activities on how to keep their mind alert and strong bodies. Students will participate in the lessons by selecting healthy items to eat and bring home projects to show their families what they learned.
