My Project

At my school, my main responsibility is to address the needs of the "whole child" and treat every student holistically.

My students come with varying needs, and over 95% belong to impoverished homes.

Their diverse cultures, needs, and experiences mean that one size does not fit all.

At my school, I wear many hats and I facilitate a vast diversity of students' and teachers' needs alike.

I am requesting your assistance in helping students in my class with 2 boxes of three Kleenex tissues for the classroom. The 3 backpacks will be packed full with an array of school supplies that will be used for/given to students in need.
