Recovering Together

Help me give my students water and snacks to recover from a catastrophic event.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Thigpen's classroom raised $905

This project is fully funded

My Project

In the event of a major weather situation, something that is quite common in Mississippi, students can often be left without a safe place to sleep or to learn. Hurricanes and tornadoes are extremely common in our area and can have devastating effects.

With these resources, my students and I can begin the slow process of rebuilding our classroom and our community.

The water and flavor packets will be used to help those who may have lost access to running water in their homes. The microwave and Ramen noodles will provide a warm snack for students to supplement their free lunch at school for students who may be experiencing food scarcity at home. The variety of snacks will ensure students always have an option to choose something they like.

The Clorox wipes and Febreeze will ensure a fresh and clean learning environment, while the Epson ink will let us reprint important notes and documents.
