My Project

The holiday season is a time for giving, and I want my students to feel cared for and supported even when school is not in session. With this project, I plan to provide each student with a care package containing snacks, drinks, and a personalized water bottle. These gifts will not only bring comfort and joy but also promote self-care and a sense of belonging. The personalized water bottles will serve as both a practical tool for staying hydrated and a meaningful reminder of how much they are valued.

My students are truly special, bringing resilience, curiosity, and enthusiasm to the classroom each day.

Despite the challenges they may face, they continue to inspire me with their determination and creativity. This project is my way of showing them how much they are appreciated while encouraging their well-being and readiness to learn when they return from the holiday break.
