SEL Meets Basic Needs

Help me give my students social emotional tools while meeting their basic needs.

My Project

Please help provide my students some new social emotional tools while also meeting their basic needs. Many times throughout the day I have students ask me for food. Working in a city, many students have limited access to food outside of the school building. I want to be able to provide students a space for where they can take the food items they need and also provide them social emotional tools. By helping fund my project you’re contributing to my students building their social emotional needs and also helping them survive the day on a full stomach.
