Support for Students in Temporary Housing

Help me give my students technology to assist with the furtherance of education, and access to programs that will help instill healthy communication and articulation of emotions. The food and cleaning items will help their families in need.

My Students

The students that I support are nothing short of amazing. They range in grade level from kindergarten to fifth grade, and have infinite potential. Whether in or out of the class room, they can always be found stretching themselves to new limits. Some are exceptional singers, others dance, others enjoy arts and crafts and have a real shot at being beyond extraordinary if nurtured properly.

I see a little piece of myself in each of these children, and I want to make sure that they have all of the necessary resources and support that they need to thrive.

My Project

This project is a part of a kickoff effort to provide support to the student population at our school who live in temporary housing. These are students that either live in shelters, cars, or are in between homes and have no where to stay at all. I have recently launched a food pantry as well as a toiletry closet at our school, however I would like to keep the momentum and enlist the help of all who are willing to donate.

The items selected on this project will not only serve in boosting morale and promoting focus in the class room, but also supporting the families who don't have the very things that many people take for granted on a day to day basis like food, toiletries, and other essential need items.

The snack items in the cart will specifically be used as incentive for good behavior, and for demonstration of expected skills. The food items will be provided to children, as well as sent home in care packages for families in need. Items in this cart will be paired with some of the inventory from our food pantry and toiletry closet to best meet the needs of families and children, whether it be food for breakfast or dinner, or items for hygiene and personal care. There are also two iPads listed in the cart. The students really enjoy playing educational games on the tablets which further assist with comprehension and connectivity.

For eight hours a day, these children are ours and are under our care. I believe it is important to inspire, give hope, nurture, and support them as if they were our own during that time. These children and their families are already at a disadvantage. Help us to be a beacon and show that we care.
