My Project

My students need some basic items to finish out the school year. Snacks are very important in our classroom, many of my students experience food insecurity and are able to learn better when knowing there is always something to eat while at school. Chewing gum allows my students to focus and learn more while in class. Cleaning wipes are used daily to keep our classroom clean and our students and staff healthy.

When your basic needs are met you are more open to learning and have lower anxiety.

Every child deserves to have their basic needs met.
