My Project
As the Community School Coordinator here at Jennie F. Snapp Middle School, I run Promise Zone. Promise Zone is a safe space in the school that ALL students have access to. While in Promise Zone, students are encouraged to talk, share, play games, work on homework, get creative, talk to a SW intern, or just be. It is open specific study hall periods throughout the day, but if a student has a specific need (a break, food, clothing, etc.) they can access me during any period.
My goal is to have my space be a place that is warm and inviting, a consistent spot that hungry students know they have access to a snack.
I am trying to attain snacks that I can provide my students throughout this year. In the past, I've made many connections with students over my ability to provide them a quick snack and a listening ear.
