Community Care Corner: a Share Drawer for Student Needs

Help me give my students a Community Share Drawer which will provide essential items such snacks, deodorant, and other necessities. I aim to create a welcoming space where students can access the resources they need without feeling uncomfortable.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Project

Creating a supportive and nurturing environment is essential for my high school students' success and well-being. Many of my students face various challenges outside of the classroom that can impact their ability to focus and engage in their education. By ensuring that their basic needs are met, we can foster a sense of comfort and security, allowing them to thrive academically and artistically.

I am seeking funds to establish a "Community Share Drawer" in my classroom, which will provide essential items such as water bottles, snacks, deodorant, hair ties, feminine products, and other necessities.

This initiative aims to create a welcoming space where students can easily access the resources they need without feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable.

By addressing these basic needs, we can cultivate a supportive atmosphere that encourages students to express themselves freely and confidently. When students feel comfortable and supported, they are more likely to engage in their learning, participate in classroom activities, and explore their creativity. This Community Share Drawer will not only help meet immediate needs but also promote a sense of community and belonging among my students, ultimately enhancing their educational experience.
