My Project

Hello Donors! These items requested in this project will help my students tremendously this coming school. My 8th grade middle schoolers will be able to come to school and have some of the basic supplies they need to perform at their best academically. They will have wellness items/hygiene essentials so they do not have to worry about being embarrassed when they forget to carry certain items for themselves. They won't have to worry about being made fun of for things that are sometimes out of their control because, they are growing and their bodies are going through certain changes as they grow and get older.

I never want my students to go hungry in my classroom.

The snacks items will provide my students who are not able to get breakfast or snacks for lunch at home or money to buy things from the store. I know some of my students do not like school lunch and will not eat. These snacks will be in the classroom in order to be sure those students have something to eat during the day whether its for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack.
