My Project

When you think about students who have a strong desire to be the best, think about my students. They are inspiring individuals who come from places that aren't always ideal. Adversity is the foundation of the life they stand on, but they persevere.

Our students struggle with poverty, homelessness, employment, transportation, and language barriers; but, despite all of this, they show up to school.

Our students face enough barriers in life already, and something as simple as a healthy snack can make a big difference in their day. These snacks will help ensure they have the energy they need to focus on their studies and succeed in school. We are also requesting cleaning items that will keep us healthy through flu season.
