My classroom is full of curious readers, authors, scientists, and mathematicians. My students attend a Title I school in Oakland, California with a school-wide free breakfast and lunch program. Many of my students come from families and communities that have experienced some form of trauma and often have difficulty coming to school. Our school has an increasing amount of newcomer families, which continue to make our school an amazing and diverse community where all are welcome.
My students are survivors and thinkers, who push through these tribulations to question, dream, and inspire.
Together, we show up and work hard each and every day to grow as life-long learners and critical thinkers.
My Project
All children deserve to have clean clothes every morning to wear to school, a toothbrush to brush their teeth, and socks to put on with their shoes. It is my hope that with this project, we can have these supplies as resources for families who can't afford to purchase them on their own. As a teacher, it is my job to give our students the resources they need to be successful in school, and out. That doesn't always look like pencils and glue sticks.
Our students need clean clothes and personal hygiene items at school, so I can make sure students are able to put their education FIRST!
These donations will change the lives of all of our students, and give them the confidence they need to face each day!
More than half of students from low‑income households
