My Project

My co-teacher and I will be hosting our Annual School Poetry Slam for every child that attends out school. This event is a key opportunity for our students to showcase their creativity, build confidence, and develop their public speaking skills in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Beyond the value of the event itself, I believe that providing snacks will play an important role in keeping students engaged and excited about attending.

Many of our students face various challenges that can make consistent school attendance difficult, and offering snacks will help to create an inviting and welcoming atmosphere for all participants. By offering light refreshments, we hope to foster a sense of community, reduce barriers to participation, and encourage students to attend regularly in the weeks leading up to the event.

Snacks would also serve as a simple yet powerful way to show our students that they are valued and appreciated. When students feel welcomed and cared for, they are more likely to remain motivated and committed to participating in the Poetry Slam, and by extension, remain engaged in school.

Your support for this initiative would not only benefit the Poetry Slam but also contribute to the overall well-being of our students by promoting inclusivity, camaraderie, and regular attendance. We truly believe that providing this small gesture will help ensure the success of our event and make it an unforgettable experience for all involved.

Thank you for considering this request. We are deeply grateful for your support in making this event a memorable and enriching experience for our students.
