My Project

I absolutely love how resilient, curious, and eager to learn my students are, even in the face of challenges. They come from diverse backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives to our classroom which makes every day an opportunity for growth and connection.

The bottled water and snacks I’m requesting will address an immediate and critical need for hydration and nutrition during the time that they are playing at football games.

By providing access to food and water, I can ensure my students stay focused, comfortable, and ready to engage in their performance.

My students are special because they never let their circumstances define their potential. They inspire me daily with their determination and positivity, and I want to ensure they have every resource they need to succeed.
