My Project

This project is meant to help my students who may not be able to afford the necessities of life; there are students who come to school just so they can have a hot meal.

The items listed in this project are designed to help those students who can not afford them.

The maxi pads and cough drops were suggested by the school nurse and sees the struggle these kids have. The Chromebook chargers are listed to replace ones that might have broken or gotten lost and students can not afford to replace them. The cabinet is where these times will be locked up as to not get taken.
