My Students

My students are sweet, intuitive and energetic. They are full of questions and curiosity that drives their learning each day.

Due to our virtual setting, my students have lost some of that hands on learning that helps them to thrive.

Even with the virtual challenges that they face every day, my students keep an open mind and work hard to do their best. With the holidays coming up, I want to reward them for their hard work and perseverance by putting together a holiday gift bag for each of them.

My Project

This project will benefit 15 students in a first grade class. Within the gift bags, there are even materials for students to use on a daily basis, like headphones and dry erase markers! The items that they will get in their bag are all hands on materials in order to reward them for their hard work in our virtual school setting.

I wanted to get my students something to let them know that I care about them and that even though we are virtual, we are still a class family!

By donating to our project you will be able to reach students in a low income area who may otherwise not receive many holiday gifts. I know my students will be so excited to receive these gifts and I can't wait to be able to safely deliver them to all of them!
