My Project

🎊HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!🎉 It's a critical time of the year. One in which we replenish our classroom supplies with snacks and personal hygiene items like Kleenex, Lysol Disinfectant, Composition Notebooks, incentives and water. These much needed supplies will enable our young learners to flourish as they continue to learn about various cultures, traditions and customs throughout the Lunar New Year.

Many of my students come from low income situations where food and school supplies are not readily available throughout the New Year.

My goal is to make snacks, school supplies, and personal hygiene items readily available in order to improve educational success throughout the Lunar New Year. Having a healthy and safe educational environment will help my students to feel prepared and confident: whether it's a full tummy, or a clean healthy classroom. Thank you for supporting our young learners as they continue to attain educational success!
