My Project

Please help fill the bellies and hearts of the students in our classroom! Many of the students and their families come from tough backgrounds. Many of the students have special needs as well. The snacks, rewards, sensory items, and social-emotional learning items will help take their minds off being hungry, angry, sad, struggling due to special needs, so on; and help them focus on learning and growing as a whole. The items will help put a smile on their faces and fill their hearts with knowing they deserve good things! Thank you for reading this and for any support you can give! Any items left over this school year will be used with the next group of students in August.

Ms. McKain
Grades 3-5
