My Students

My students are all ages and grades from pre-k to 5th. I miss them beyond words. Being stuck at home seems grand for a day or two, but by Day 20, the children are missed more and more! Many of them do not have computers and laptops to access enriching activities from home, let alone the distance learning lessons that I have been providing them.

My Project

I am partnering with the second grade teachers in hopes of helping to bless those children with snacks, as they have asked their teachers to support them. It takes beyond word expressions to explain the emotions behind hearing the children ask for food.

We are facing unknown tomorrows and I wish to be part of the solution in any way that I can.

I am hoping that this project will help satisfy the children's needs of support and comfort in this time of unknown. I also plan to assist in meal deliveries!
