My Project

High school can be hard and sometimes we take simple items for granted and not everyone has them, specifically something to eat and a way to simply look put together in the mornings.

My goal is to provide healthy snacks to get their mind thinking and their body moving, while also providing them with the necessary hygiene products at their fingertips to help grab and go without questions asked.

Additionally, items like the alternative seating and throw blanket will add to the comfort the girls feel and just enhance the positivity of the space for them mentally which is always the goal.

Students deserve a space to feel appreciated and respected, especially while they are trying to do their job and learn. My space will give them the space needed to recenter, refocus, recoup, and get back to being successful. Student safety and success is the goal of all teachers and the items in this cart will help with both immensely. Healthy snacks are a good way to boost and motivate my girls mind and body. Sometimes my students would miss breakfast and start the day unmotivated and very tired, sometimes they lack the resources to do something as simple as brushing their hair. If I can help lessen this burden on at least one girl then I have done my job, but my goal is to have the resources for all. Thank you.
