My Students
My students are some of the most amazing I have ever met, and they continue to inspire me to teach. They enjoy coming to school and achieving their goals despite struggles at home they may face. I am excited to see my students return to class after not being on campus for 1.5 years.
Many of my students are in an art class for the first time since elementary school, so they are finding a creative side they did not know existed.
Seeing their excitement when they complete a project is very rewarding. Helping them reach or find their creative side is very rewarding as a teacher. Art supplies are consumable, having enough for all my students is important to me. Making sure the students are not hungry and have the supplies they need to be successful plays a major role for all students.
The majority of the students come from low socioeconomic households, and parents do not have the financial means to provide essentials for their child. I love watching their excitement as they are creative.
My Project
Students today have so many things to worry about from life such as home, grades, work, siblings, Covid etc. I want to make it easy for those who can not afford to bring extra snacks with them to school each day. Many of them receive free breakfast and lunch but this is not usually enough for the average high school students. I have students who stop by my class each day asking for something to eat. Having items that are easy, grab and go snacks makes it easy for students to keep going to their next class. Our pantry is running low on these snacks such as juice, chips, healthy bars, natural gummies, and more would provide more of a variety.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
