My Students

My students are unique and excited to learn. My students are especially unique because of the high level of diversity we are able to celebrate within our classroom and our school. Our school is located in a very low-income area of Nevada.

My Project

Please help me provide nutritional and much needed breakfast options and snacks for my students to help fuel their minds and bodies throughout the day!

Many of my students are not being provided their basic needs at home and need extra care throughout the day in order to focus their minds on their education.

My students often come to school hungry and have a hard time focusing. By keeping breakfast items and snacks available for them it provides them a safe place to learn, knowing they can ask for help.

I am also asking for help providing our classroom with more sanitizer and masks to help us safe stay during the outbreak of covid we are experiencing in our area.

I am also requesting materials to provide them with a special, well deserved treat for the up-coming holiday.
