My Project

My students are funny and full of life. They enjoy playing games and learning new things. What makes them special is that we are a close knit community with school pride. My students have daily obstacles and yet they still want to achieve. I try to do my best to make my lessons fun and educational. These materials will have a profound impact on my students' social and economic needs. The hat and gloves will provide warmth for those students that arrive early in the cold. The goal is for them is to be responsible and take care of yourself. The first aid kit will be used to assist students that may have an accident in the gym to keep them safe. The masks will be used protect my students from RSV, Covid, and flu.

With your help, I will be able to keep my students safe and warm for the winter season.
