Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My 10th-grade students are eager learners who thrive when provided with the right tools and environment to succeed. Many of them face challenges outside of the classroom that can impact their ability to focus and engage fully in their education.
This project aims to create a supportive and inspiring classroom environment by providing snacks, books, engaging activities, incentive prizes, and SEL (social-emotional learning) supports.
How Your Support Will Help:
Snacks: Many students come to class hungry, which makes it hard to concentrate. Healthy snacks will ensure they have the energy to stay focused throughout the day.
Books and Activities: Providing high-interest, culturally diverse books and engaging activities will help foster a love of learning, strengthen literacy skills, and promote critical thinking.
Incentive Prizes: Incentives will motivate students to reach academic and behavioral goals, celebrating their efforts and successes.
SEL Supports: Tools like journals, mindfulness activities, and team-building games will nurture emotional resilience, build positive relationships, and create a sense of belonging in our classroom community.
Your contribution will help us create a welcoming, inclusive, and stimulating classroom where students feel supported both academically and emotionally.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
