My Project

My students are resilient, hardworking, and eager to learn, but many face challenges that extend beyond the classroom. They come from diverse backgrounds, and for some, school is the one place where they feel safe and supported. To help them stay focused and engaged, I want to provide snacks to keep their energy levels up and sweatpants to ensure they feel comfortable, especially during the colder months. When students are hungry or uncomfortable, it becomes harder for them to concentrate on their learning, and these simple resources can make a big difference in their daily success.

This project will help create a positive and inclusive learning environment where every student feels cared for and ready to learn.

Snacks will give them the fuel they need to stay attentive during lessons, while sweatpants will ensure they can focus without worrying about being cold. My goal is to remove these small but significant barriers so my students can fully engage in their education. With your support, we can meet their basic needs and help them thrive in the classroom.
