My Project

Many of our students come from low-income families and often go without proper meals during the day. This not only affects their concentration and focus but also hampers their ability to learn and engage in class activities. To tackle this problem, I would like to propose restocking my giving closet so I can restart my snack program. I can provide snacks to students during the school day. These snacks will help keep their tummies full and ensure they have the energy they need to excel academically.

Additionally, as the winter season approaches, it is crucial that we provide our students with adequate winter gear to keep them warm and protected from the harsh weather conditions.

Many of them do not have access to proper hats and gloves, which can lead to discomfort and even illness. To address this issue, I will initiate a winter hat and glove giveaway for our students in need.
