  • Snack Time!

    Funded Mar 31, 2024

    Thank you for helping me bring this project to life. Food is such an important part of our life. I can't stand seeing a student hungry. I want to be able to feed every student who comes through my office. It humbles me to see how others are willing to support our public school students. I am grateful for your donation. 🙌 🧡

    Students drop by my office all the time to ask for a snack. Sometimes, they miss dinner or breakfast because no food is available at home. Since I have a large number of my students in temporary housing, a snack is needed in a classroom or office.

    Having a snack ready at any time helps students get through that day. All students very much appreciate a snack after gym class. My growing middle schoolers seem to always be hungry. I always have a snack ready for them either to get them through the day or to replenish their energy for their after-school activities.

    Your generous donations will keep my students satisfied and ready to learn for a while with a smile on their faces.

    Now, I have a bin full of snacks labeled "Snack of the Day". My students love the "Snack of the Day". When they pass by my office, they get so excited to discover what new goodies were added to the bin that day. All of this is possible because of wonderful donors like you.”

  • Charged and Protected! - Round 2

    Funded Mar 24, 2024

    My students received their iPads in their boxes from the store. Unfortunately, no protective covers or chargers were given with these iPads. We have so many families that are new to the country and currently living in shelters. These students would like to protect their devices but their parents are not able to afford these accessories.

    With your support, I can provide their school device with the accessories needed to keep their school supplies in good shape.

    Thank you so much for your support.”

Many of my students get their essays and projects done on google drive directly on their phones or tablets. Unfortunately, most of them do not have a printer at their disposal. They have to rely on either the school library or the public library to be able to print their work/projects. I'm setting up an after-school club where students will get academic help where they can collaborate with their peers and be able to print the result right away. My goal is to show them that their teachers along with their community can help them get on the road to success.
