My Students

My students are dreamers, problem solvers, and likely the most creative little people you will ever meet.

They are a happy group of first graders that love school, and they love to learn.

One hundred percent of our school qualifies for free breakfast and lunch, yet they don't let hardships stand in their way of learning. My students' economic situations are just as varied as are their family dynamics. We have military families, with a local National Guard Unit in our area and Hill Air Force Base close by. We aim to take good care of our military families. Our district includes an Indian Reservation, and we have a high population of Hispanic students, many of whom have family members that work in the agricultural industry.

My Project

It warms my heart when all of my students have their needs met. Only then can I teach them effectively. I have students in need of a new coat or jacket. Sometimes they leave their gloves and hats at home or they have lost them. I would like to have some available for all children when they need them. The extra clothes will be given to children to wear when they have an accident at school or if a child comes to school unkept. We will talk about Dental Health in February. It would be nice to have a toothbrush and toothpaste to give the children. I know when the children feel good about themselves, then they can focus on the lessons and do their best in school. All kids need the basics of life - like food, warmth, shelter and clothing. But they also need to feel loved and secure. By giving our children all the things they need, we can help them be safe, strong and thrive. Thank you for considering our life essential project. Your help shows them that they are cared about and can be safe and secure at school.
