The goal of my project is to create a small store for my students who are in need of personal and school related products who do not have the means to get them from home. My students often find themselves in situations that are difficult to handle at home. Their parents, guardians, foster families and, some times no families at all, can't afford the basic necessities that our students need. Students come to school day in and day out despite being uncomfortable. Students come to school without soup, deodorant and toothpaste in their bathrooms. Girls come with no hair ties, hair brushes or chapstick. Students walk to school in the rain and the cold without a jacket. Students walk around with books falling out of their broken, taped up, stabled together book bags because no one can afford to get them a new one. Families do the best they can under the circumstances they are given. Many of our families are faced with unemployment, relocation (sometimes from a different country), and a host of other issues that our students' personal hygiene and school supply needs fall to the wayside. I want to create a safe space for students to be able to come, pick up some personal items and take them home to use them. Students will receive coupons from teachers and staff members who see a student in need. This way we can help as many students as possible and they can do it without other students knowing. It will also aid in creating a safe, nurturing learning environment. This project will help jump start the Locker of Love by providing a space to store and lock-up all of the products. Also, to help students have a good start with a backpack and hand sanitizer.
