This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
Our 6th grade AVID students are passionate about helping others and giving back to the Southwest Little Rock community. In collaboration with our school counselor, we will identify families who are in need of wellness and hygiene kits. Through this community service project, my AVID students will assemble and distribute these essential kits, learning the value of leadership, empathy, and giving back to the community.
Our goal is to put together at least 50 wellness and hygiene kits to distribute to families in Southwest Little Rock.
The kits will include essential items such as deodorant, hand sanitizer, and tools to help with mindfulness and stress relief. When students participate in community service, they strengthen the relationship between the school and the surrounding community. This can foster a sense of trust and mutual respect, as the community sees students taking an active role in addressing local needs.
Participating in this project will deepen my student's understanding of community needs and give them a sense of accomplishment as they make a tangible difference in the lives of local families.
My AVID students come from diverse backgrounds and are dedicated to making a positive impact on the Southwest Little Rock community. Many of them understand and face the same challenges that families in the area face and are eager to participate in community service projects like this one. This experience will help them grow as leaders and community members, reinforcing their commitment to helping others.
More than half of students from low‑income households
