Help me give my students hygiene products. Our homeless population has doubled. These products will support my students' overall health, which will lead to improved learning in the classroom.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
As a school social worker in a low-income school, the daily challenges that my students face both in and out of the classroom never cease to amaze me; however, they show up, learn, and grow into unique individuals. My students range in age from Pre-K to 8th grade and range in levels of intervention needed. I work with both general and special education students allowing me to support students of various abilities and needs.
My students are resilient, full of strength, and highly adaptable to any environment.
My students benefit from having a well-rounded set of supports to ensure their success. When working with my students, I frequently look for innovative ways to support their growth and success both in and outside the classroom. My students encourage me to utilize creativity and innovation and are regularly teaching me new things through our interactions together. My students are insightful, kind, and above all, amazing people. They indeed are the best.
My Project
All students want to be successful during the school day. At times, outside factors impact a student's learning. This can include homelessness and not having basic needs met at home. We know that stress can greatly impact student learning.
While students are resilient and strong, there are also times they need extra support and their basic needs met.
These materials will provide a hygiene kit to each student currently identified as homeless. The kits can support their social-emotional health to reduce stressors and allow their focus to shift to school.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
