My Project
Students these days are often tired and stressed! Help me create a cozy corner where students can check-out a book and relax. This project will help give students a safe space where they feel like they have the ability to express themselves freely. The students I surround myself with daily are the most creative and passionate people. The materials requested would allow the students to develop social-emotional skills.
Further enhancing their ability to enter young adulthood.
With your help we can give these kids access to a in-house library. We can make this dream a reality!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
