Simply put, my students are incredible. While incredible, they are also teenagers, meaning they are sometimes smelly, occasionally forget to brush their teeth, and are often very hungry. While they are smelly and hungry, they are also expected to learn, engage positively with their community, and be creative all at the same time. I hope to alleviate some of the stresses that can come with being a teenager at a large high school.
With these health items easily accessible to them, students will be able to feel more comfortable and ready to learn while at school.
In addition to personal health items and (mostly) healthy snacks, I also hope to add them to our small classroom library. Often students are too shy to ask for help with managing stress, identity, and understanding all of the changes happening to them and the people around them. By providing a few books that cover these topics specifically written for teens on the classroom bookshelf, I hope students can find some support in the areas they are seeking knowledge in.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
