We know that teachers wear many hats and consistently go above and beyond for their students. They’re often the front-line social workers in schools, and regularly assist their students with critical life needs, like warm coats, clean clothes, personal hygiene items, and food for outside of school. We’re matching Student Life Essential Projects because having these materials means students can come to school with confidence, ready to learn and set up for success!
