My Project

Our data shows a decline in our schools, I want to foster a positive outlook and mental well-being in my classroom. This is a special ed classroom for high schoolers who read below 3rd grade and come from low-income and single-parent homes.

These books will be perfect to help and build confidence in reading and the snacks will provide them with nourishment and remove any shame of asking for handouts.

Many of my students rely on school food, and having snacks in the class will ensure that hunger is not a factor when it comes to their education.

Mr. Almanza Miguel Contreras Learning Complex School of Business and Tourism Grades 9-12

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
