My Project

For many students, school is not just a place for education—it’s a safe haven where they can find stability, support, and encouragement. This is especially true for at-risk students, who may face food insecurity, unstable home environments, or emotional distress. A clean, well-stocked classroom provides them with a sense of security, belonging, and readiness to learn, which can make a profound difference in their academic and personal success.

A clean, well-stocked classroom is more than just a space for learning—it is a refuge for at-risk students who may not have stability elsewhere.

This grant will remove barriers to success by addressing students’ basic needs, allowing them to focus, thrive, and reach their full academic potential.

We appreciate your consideration and support in helping us build a better learning environment for all students.
