My Students

My school is primarily made up of Title 1 students who are receiving free or reduced lunch. A lot of the kids in our school come from poverty.

My students have been so incredibly brave through this.

A lot of them are language learners who not only barely have access to technology, and are learning to navigate the new "online" classroom, but they are also fighting a language barrier. Despite these things, my students have tried their best to complete work on time, be present, and always do their best. Their smiles during our regular live meeting times during the week show just how remarkable they truly are.

My Project

My students come from homes where their families have not been able to work. They have had their lives turned upside down, and it hasn't been a fair situation for them.

I want to help my current students, and next years future students have something to look forward to.

I want to make personal masks for each student to use in school. I want to add their names to them, and give them a say over what mask they get to wear. Creating, and providing these reusable masks for my students give the families the opportunity to save money on the supplies that we will see in the future as necessary to comfortably, and safely return to school.

I think it is important to have colorful, friendly masks available to them that will protect them, but also make it seem less scary to come back to school in this way. This is just a small way to do so, and bring a little light to a sad, difficult situation. With these, I hope to raise the morale, and add a little happiness to my students, and eventually their families to help them too.
