My Project

Classroom essentials such as tissue, paper towels, and sanitizer help create a clean, safe, and comfortable learning environment. When students have access to these basic necessities, they can focus on their education without distractions. By ensuring that hygiene supplies are always available, we can promote health, reduce absences, and maintain a space where students feel cared for and supported.

The goal of this project is to ensure that students have access to essential classroom supplies and snacks when needed.

Having snacks available will help students stay focused and energized throughout the day, reducing hunger-related distractions. Additionally, providing everyday essentials fosters a sense of security and dignity, allowing students to concentrate on their learning.

My students attend a high school in Montgomery. They are hardworking, resilient, and full of potential. Despite challenges, they show up each day eager to learn and grow. Their determination and dedication to their education inspire me to create the best possible environment for their success.
