My Project

Every student needs and deserves to have their basic needs met before they can begin to learn. For many students, these needs go beyond what they receive at home and overlap with the school day, where students spend much of their waking hours. In addition to the basic school supplies such as pencils and pens, I want to give my students even more resources to support them throughout the school day.

These fidget devices and snacks will not only set up students to succeed, but they will also reward and motivate students to work hard.

Emotional regulation is for everyone, not just for neurodivergent students, and everyone needs fuel for their bodies. Help me meet the needs that go above and beyond the usual scope of education.
