My Project

I am reaching out to you with a heartfelt appeal to support my project on DonorsChoose, which aims to provide snacks for my students. As a dedicated school counselor, I witness firsthand the challenges and stresses our students face on a daily basis. Many come to school without the basic nourishment needed to sustain them throughout the day, hindering their ability to focus and learn.

By providing snacks, we can bridge the gap and ensure that each student has the energy and sustenance required to move throughout the day.

My role as a counselor involves not only addressing emotional and academic needs but also recognizing the practical obstacles that hinder our students' success. Your contribution to this project will help to fill hungry stomachs. Thank you for your consideration and support.
