My Project

Lend a hand, give a can is a project that is designed to request essentials that my students need in and out of the classroom. It is not tied to any classroom lessons or specific learning objectives, but instead it will make my students come to school at their healthiest and happiest selves.

Living on an inadequate income can bring a lot of stress to students such as inadequate nutrition and food insecurity, lack of basic services, substandard housing, and inadequate child care that adversely impact their physical and mental health.
