My Project

I work in the Student Support Center, where we help support students in all aspects of their day. Most often we help resolve issues such as anger, frustration, physical aggression, social and emotional learning and many other situations.

I have found that if you offer an upset child a snack it helps to regulate them.

Therefor I am asking for donations to provide for my students. The demographics tend to be on the lower income levels. Many children come to school hungry. Often a hungry child is an angry child.
