At our school, we believe that every student deserves a fair shot at success—no matter their background or circumstances. As part of our commitment to providing a safe and nurturing learning environment, we work tirelessly to ensure our students are equipped with the tools they need to thrive academically. Unfortunately, many of our students come from low-income families, which means that often their basic needs, like food and learning materials, aren't fully met.
Many of our students arrive at school hungry, as they often don't have access to regular meals before class.
Hunger makes it incredibly difficult for students to focus and absorb new information. A small snack can make a world of difference by giving them the energy they need to fully participate in lessons, complete their work, and engage with their peers. Healthy snacks like granola bars, crackers, and fruit can give our students the fuel they need to succeed.
As our school moves towards more technology-based learning, students often need headphones to participate in digital lessons, watch educational videos, or engage with apps and learning programs. However, many of our students don’t have access to personal headphones, making it difficult for them to engage with these activities in a productive way. With quality headphones, students will be able to concentrate in a classroom where noise can sometimes be overwhelming, and they'll have the tools they need for independent learning.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
