My Project

Being a middle school student is tough! Adolescence on its own can be a challenging time for middle schoolers. Their bodies require up to 9 hours of regular sleep and adjusting to new school schedules and more homework in middle school can make waking up in the morning tough. Some of our students and families don't have the resources to purchase alarm clocks to help them get up in the morning. Once they are up, many of our students arrive without basic school supplies or a way to carry them to and from school.

Our goal is to be able to provide alarm clocks to the students struggling with tardiness and attendance the most.

The donations to this project will give our students the ability to wake up and get to school on time with their laptops and supplies, allowing them to succeed socially and academically.
