Help me give my students snacks so they can focus on learning rather than waiting for lunch time.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Murphy's classroom raised $246
This project is fully funded
My Students
My students are special needs students in rural Southern Oregon. They have a variety of learning levels but are typically one to two years behind their non-disabled peers under non-Covid circumstances. Right now that gap may have widened. They are also typical teenagers full of excitement, angst, and puberty-driven emotions.
Seeing them make progress in an area of struggle makes the challenges of teaching them worth the effort it often takes.
My colleagues and I often spend our evenings grading, creating lesson plans and/or curriculum, planning/attending meetings, or attending student events.
Our town used to have thriving lumber companies which are now gone. Many families live in poverty and do not have everything they need to support their child’s education at home.
I am new to this school district and need to refurbish my classroom as it is lacking some basic items that would be helpful. I grew up in this district and it is historically underfunded.
My Project
These materials will help my students meet the basic need for food so they are not thinking about their stomachs. That will bring them one step closer to being able to focus and think about the lesson of the day.
Students cannot focus on learning when they are hungry and their basic needs have not been met.
Families are struggling and so are our students. Teenage life is hard enough on its own but when you add food insecurity, teens feel even more stress. Filling this need will help our students be more successful.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
