Maximizing Learning with Warm Clothes and a Full Tummy!

My students need access to emergency clothing and food so that they can concentrate on their learning and do their absolute best!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Anderson's classroom raised $323

This project is fully funded

My Students

My classroom is filled with curious and diverse young learners who love to learn! As they say, we all have something that we are dealing with. For some of my students, this may mean being food insecure, or even homeless. Other students may struggle academically or socially. However, it is important to note that despite their struggles, my students are kind and love to collaborate and problem-solve as they engage in active learning activities.

Each day with my students brings new adventures and new experiences which we explore together.

It is my goal as a teacher to further extend the love of learning to my students so they are able to have successful academic careers, but conquer their own personal goals and dreams.

My Project

As you might imagine, it is difficult to focus on work when you are cold and/or hungry.

This project is meant to help solve this problem so that students can concentrate on their learning rather than the rumble in their tummies or the goosebumps on their arms and legs.

The snacks listed in this project will be made available to students when they are hungry and need a snack. The clothing will also be made available to those that need to find additional comfort throughout the cooler months of the year. The shelving will be used to house the clothing and snacks. The open shelves will allow for quick and open access for all students. Finally, we would not be able to start the year off right without a fancy sharpened pencil and a name plate that marks each student's secure space.
