My Project

As a school counselor, I just want my students taken care of and I understand the families at our school can't always afford getting their students backpacks. Most of the money will go towards backpacks and the rest will go toward drawstring bags for our students to fill with food from our Principal's Pantry. We try to be equity minded at our school and this year we've had a 20% increase since last year of refugees and immigrants. These families sometimes don't come with anything and cross countries on foot to get here so the least we can provide at our school is a back on their shoulders for school work and a weekend pack of food. My philosophy is, if we can do something about it, then we should.
