My Project

This proposal seeks approval and support to storage bins for food and clothing donations to enhance the services provided through the Family and Community Room at TES. These resources will directly support parent engagement, family outreach, and community programming efforts, particularly for needy families living in a low-income area.

By equipping this space with practical tools, we aim to better serve our students and their families through both educational enrichment and essential support services.

TES serves a diverse and resilient student population, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged households.

We recognize that supporting the whole child means not only providing academic instruction, but also ensuring families have access to the resources and information they need to thrive.
