My Project

My students are inner-city kids in Pennsylvania and all receive free or reduced-price lunch and breakfast. Most face serious obstacles before they even walk through​ the doors in the morning. Our goal is to make our school a safe and loving environment. One of the things that helps the most is having snacks and drinks available in the classroom throughout the day. Something as simple as a slim jim, cookie, or a rice Krispie treat can change a child's outlook on the whole day. If a kid is hungry they can not focus.

Ms. LaBar John Barry Elementary School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
