My Project

My students have recently been through some tough times with Hurricane Ian. Many have experienced some sort of trauma dealing with the effects of the hurricane. I am hoping that the items I have requested can bring them some aspects of normalcy back to their lives.

Hygienic items will provide them with confidence to be their best selves.

Food items will keep them satisfied so they can focus on the lessons. The peppermint oil will provide a calming atmosphere. Thank you for supporting my deserving students. With your help, we will overcome!
