My Project

My students are bright, curious, and full of potential, but they often face challenges that make learning difficult. Many of them come to class hungry, which affects their focus and engagement. By providing nutritious snacks like Goldfish and Cheez-Its, I can help ensure they have the energy to stay attentive and participate actively in lessons.

Additionally, access to technology is crucial in today’s learning environment.

The laptop I am requesting will give my students opportunities to engage in interactive math activities, conduct research, and complete assignments that require digital resources. Many of my students do not have reliable access to technology at home, so having this tool in the classroom will bridge that gap and provide them with the learning experiences they deserve.

My goal is to create an environment where students can thrive academically without being held back by hunger or limited access to resources. Every student deserves the chance to succeed, and this project will bring them one step closer to that goal. Thank you for considering supporting my incredible students!
