This year, my students are from a mix of grades! During Physical Education, it is their time to shine in a different way in school, through physical activity. It's a way for students to see their skills outside of the classroom.
Many of my students are from low-income households and live in small, cramped, and crowded spaces; and that's if they're not living in a temporary housing unit or shelter.
There is not much green space or large safe spaces for them to run around and play in. Physical Education class gives them the chance to grow in a way they often could not outside of school. In order to get my students up and moving, I need materials that cater to their size, growth, and development. This includes athletic equipment and basic life needs like snacks, sneakers, and clothing items.
My Project
My office looks like a CVS most days. I collect gently worn and donated clothing for my students, and try to keep a stock of basic hygiene products like deodorant, toothbrushes and soap.
My school is located in a very low income area, with many of my students living in public housing and shelters.
Basic needs aren't always met at home, so I do my best to help my students when they are at school. With your help, I can supply my students with everyday items like toothbrushes and new underwear, that so many of us take for granted. Students come in saying they didn't brush their teeth because they didn't have a toothbrush or toothpaste. They need basics like underwear, toothbrushes and soap. I also need cleaning products to make sure that the items they are using are clean and ready for usage. Thank you for all of your generosity and help, by helping me provide for my students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
