Sometimes the solution to improving student success can be as simple as offering students essentials beyond the classroom. The response to COVID-19 has impacted all of us in unprecedented ways. Among the drastic changes that have taken place, school closures have brought many uncertainties and concerns for our community.The coronavirus has spread through urban areas like the Bronx faster than rural areas and has disproportionately affected African-American and Hispanic communities. As a result of the challenges that arose out of this pandemic, we have discovered new ways to engage, connect with, and support students and families during this time of remote learning and social distancing we would never have thought possible. Therefore, providing my students with everyday essentials such as soap, shampoo and conditioner, body lotion, laundry detergent, and hand sanitizer is crucial to their basic needs. We know that if students' basic needs are not met, it interferes with their learning. There are biological requirements for human survival, such as food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, and sleep. If these needs are not satisfied, the human body cannot function optimally. Maslow's Hierarchy of needs considered physiological needs the MOST important as all the other needs become secondary until these needs are met. Invest in our students and the future of the Bronx. With your support we will be able to provide our students with the essentials to keep them healthy and safe.
