My Project

I am the 4th and 5th grade counselor at WES. We are a Title I school where most of our students qualify for free breakfast and lunch. Our Counseling Department also sends food home over the weekend for families that will do without otherwise.

With our families barely putting food on the table, they may not have the money to provide the products that our pre-teens need.

It is my hope that with your help, I can set them off to middle school with the information they need as well as the hygiene products to assist with changes caused by puberty.
