My Project

The items I'm requesting—snacks, deodorant assortments, women's hygiene products, and toothbrush kits—will make a significant difference in my students' learning by addressing their basic needs. When students have access to snacks, they are less likely to be distracted by hunger and can focus on their studies. Deodorant and hygiene products help them maintain personal comfort and confidence, which can improve their participation in class and interaction with peers. By providing toothbrush kits, we're promoting good health and hygiene, which can contribute to overall well-being and reduce absenteeism due to illness.

My goals for this project are to ensure that my students have a supportive environment where they can thrive academically and personally.

By providing these basic necessities, I'm aiming to reduce stress and discomfort caused by a lack of access to essential items. Ultimately, this project is about creating an inclusive and empathetic classroom where all students can focus on their learning without distractions related to personal needs.

What makes your students special?

My students are special because they come from diverse backgrounds and possess unique talents, creativity, and resilience. Despite the challenges they may face, they show remarkable adaptability and determination to succeed.
