My Project

My students are awesome. They attend a Title I school with one hundred percent of the student population living at the poverty level. They do not allow their misfortunes to determine their futures. The students do not let their present circumstances dictate how bright their futures may glow. Many of our students are unable to receive proper support from home because of various reasons. Many of their parents have a minimal education, but they do want better for their children and they provide for them as much as they can. However, these are some extremely bright and happy students who are always eager to learn.

These essentials will greatly help my students to achieve their academic goals because when you feel and smell better, you perform better.

When you have a full stomach, you can learn and focus more. The lotion and deodorant will be for days when they forget or need just a little extra grooming. Hopefully, through this display of kindness, my students will understand that their education is important to me and that the school and community do care.
