Help me give my students floor pillows, snacks, lip balm and other supplies for a safe, inviting environment filled with care, healthy hygiene, snacks, warmth, and social emotional well-being.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As a home instruction teacher, I try to bring innovative/caring lessons. The challenges with being home-bound are many but being able to transport healthy snacks/hygiene products and hot chocolate/beverages for these cold days helps. The carafe will help me keep hot chocolate handy and the warmer will help maintain it. We have class sessions ranging from 2-3 hours at times. Many of my students have severe allergies, the snacks and items I've chosen are ideal for my various homebound students. Some have episodes of anxiety and the white noise machine will help calm their feelings while in class or via virtual sessions. The comfy pillows will help us use different seating so that we are not confined to only chair and table settings.
Please help me provide my students simple hygiene supplies(Chapstick/lotion/wipes), as well as healthy protein snacks(goldfish/protein cookies); students are best educated when they are healthy and their basic needs have been met.
I want to create care bags with wipes, lotion, Chapstick and antibacterial, snacks for any home-bound students in need. Your kind donation will give them the self confidence and security needed while meeting these basic needs. Some students don’t have the access to the basics they need at home for personal hygiene supplies, and your kind donations will help me stock them up on these and healthy snacks without having to worry about being a financial burden. Our parents are so thankful for the care we give and the education we so endearingly provide. Being able to give my kids some peace of mind with the most basic of supplies is priceless and knowing that their emotional state of mind is intact brings joy to my heart!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
