My Project

I work at a special needs school servicing students with emotional disturbance, learning disabilities, autism, and other special education classifications. In addition, most of our families live below the poverty line, and struggle to make ends meet. Despite these challenges, my students come to school prepared and ready to learn.

My students are requesting a variety of snacks to keep them healthy and focused in school.

I work with a lot of students from immigrant families who rely on our school to keep their children fed. Hunger should never be an obstacle to learning, and my students' health & wellness are a priority. Thank you so much for considering a donation towards our project proposal. My kids deserve all the support they can get.

Ms. N.
Grades 9-12
