My Project

Our school is a safe haven for​ many of the students as it's the only place many receive consistency along with a daily routine of learning. These students are excited about learning and just need a boost to help continue to motivate them. An economic class should not determine their level of learning or hinder their creativity.

Play supports healthy brain development, helps children learn about the world and themselves, and develops skills like problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking.

Giving students gifts builds positive relationships, motivates them and incentivizes them. The students deserve a reward, and this helps them to build a positive school association. They feel so special to get a reward from their teacher. Every child deserves to feel loved and to receive something special that will bring a smile to their faces and joy to their hearts.

The goal is to provide students with an example of what it means to experience joy, love, and unity. The holidays are coming and unfortunately, not all kids receive gifts. The students work so hard all year, they deserve great gifts that will put smiles on their faces. Christmas is a very exciting time for our students. I know these gifts will bring them lots of joy during this coming holiday season. Because our school is in a low-income area we are putting together gifts for every student. Our goal is to get one item for every student. These students will then be able to enjoy something for the holidays. We want to help as many students as possible.
