Caring for All Students From the Classroom!

Help me give my students access to food, school supplies and sanitary items at school through our care closet! Many high school students do not have access to basic necessities. Please help me give them what they need!

My Project

Unfortunately, some of our students face challenges that extend beyond the classroom, with limited access to essential hygiene products, clothing, and basic school supplies. To address these needs, I am establishing a Care Closet that will provide our students with free access to hygiene essentials, clothes, and academic supplies. By ensuring that our students have these basic necessities, I aim to reduce barriers to learning and help them feel confident and comfortable while at school.

Many students come to me asking for things that should be a basic human right instead of a luxury.

In addition to hygiene products, the Care Closet will offer a variety of other crucial items, including clean clothing, socks, underwear, and snacks. Many students arrive at school without these basic necessities and these gaps can have a significant impact on their well-being and focus throughout the school day. By providing these resources, we hope to remove some of the stressors that may prevent students from fully engaging in their education. Having access to these items will help students maintain their dignity and self-esteem, allowing them to concentrate on their studies and participate in school activities with greater confidence.

The Care Closet is not just about providing physical resources; it's about showing our students that they are valued and cared for. By contributing to this initiative, you can help make a meaningful difference in the lives of these young people, ensuring that they have what they need to thrive both inside and outside of the classroom. Your donation will help stock the Care Closet with essential items, allowing us to serve all students who are in need and create a supportive, inclusive school community where every student has the opportunity to succeed.
