My Project

As a teacher who works in a Title I school with a population of approximately 90% minority students. I work closely with a diverse population including a large population of students with disabilities. My students are the most respectful and kind souls I have ever encountered. Most of them are always eager to learn and ask questions, which then furthers their growth despite the considerable challenges they face.

However, I cannot ignore what they communicate to me daily: their growth is increasingly hindered due to food barriers and life obstacles which not only severely impacts their mental health (which is a barrier in its own), but they are subjected to food insecurity, which dramatically impacts their energy throughout the school day.

I know that the items I am requesting will have a deeply positive affect on not only my students' physical well-being, but, their mental well-being as well. Each child deserves to come to school prepared to learn with as minimal barriers as possible. My goal is to provide snacks to decrease food insecurity and bolster student participation in their learning throughout the school day, and provide them with increased mental energy.

Additionally, by providing mental health resources, including games and bandages, my students will better be equipped to deal with stress and develop better coping mechanisms.
