Pencils, Coffee, Wipes Oh My!

Help me give my students the pencils they need as well as snacks to help them focus on academics and not hunger. My EC class is also working on building a “cafe”.

My Project

Students in my EC classroom will use these resources daily to build academic, social, and life skills. Our classroom “cafe” will give students hands-on opportunities to practice communication, responsibility, teamwork, and job skills by preparing and delivering coffee and pastry orders to staff. This real-world experience helps build confidence and independence. Classroom supplies like pencils and cleaning materials will ensure students have the tools they need to learn in a clean, organized environment. Snacks will help meet basic needs for students who may come to school hungry, allowing them to stay focused, regulated, and ready to learn each day.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
