My Project

I work with an amazing group of multilingual learners, newcomers, and immigrant students by collaborating with classroom teachers and supporting these students in their classrooms. I also pull out small groups to teach specific English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.

Students have challenges in and out of the classroom.

Having personal care items is fundamental to our mental health. I am requesting personal care items to help my students' self-confidence and emotional well-being.

My multilingual learners, newcomers, and immigrant students come to school each day ready to learn, but many times, issues interfere not only with their academics but also with their social and emotional well-being. I would like to provide my students with some personal care items such as socks, a toothbrush kit, and lip balm.

Your donation will help my students be prepared for our day.
