My Project

As a first year, I understand, if a child is hungry, he/she may not be able to focus on the lesson that is being taught at the time. Some of my students have to eat at school because food is scarce at home. Hence, I have always shared whatever food I have in my class with students.

Help me to give my ESS students snacks, while they work hard in class.

We will continue to reward our children for making progress in class. We must place our children first in all we do.
