My Project

I want to make a difference in my classroom. So many times, I see students unable to bond over lunchtime due to a lack of food options and dietary restrictions. Allergies to gluten and dairy are becoming more and more prevalent at schools- leading to students being unable to participate in eating at school.

I am currently an art teacher and host many mural painting days on campus and in the community.

It is always a struggle to find snacks that are inclusive to students despite dietary restrictions. With the assistance of DonorsChoose, I'll be able to finally include students with dairy or gluten allergies in my mural projects to indulge in snacks as energy and fuel for their amazing artwork! Feeling included in something as simple as snack time for a project day is instrumental for students' emotional well-being. Students need to feel welcomed despite of dietary restrictions, not pushed aside or feel like an inconvenience to others. Students are extra impressionable at their developmental age, and if they are able to grow up feeling included and not like an inconvenience to others during snack time, they will have more confidence and feel more accepted in the classroom.

We have 2 upcoming mural projects for the remainder of the year, and I can't wait to excite my students with the items provided as they work on creating amazing work of high quality.
