My Project

With your help and generosity, this project will allow me to meet students' essential needs within my classroom. By meeting students' basic needs, I can ensure they are confident in themselves and ready for learning.

Your generosity will allow me to provide students with a safe and loving environment where their essential needs can be provided for.

The funding of this project will provide our classroom with uniform clothes, hygiene products, snacks, and storage for these items. I have a safe space within my classroom, The Care Closet, where students have access to these basic necessities as needed. Please consider funding this project to make a difference in my students' lives.
