My Project

My students are in a self contained program that focuses on teaching coping strategies to help support their social emotional needs. All of the students in the program have had some type of trauma in their lives. We focus on supporting their basic needs as well since we are located in an urban low income area. The students enjoy using sensory items, are able to have snacks throughout the day, and need items to support their basic life needs. Please consider donating so we can provide for the students while they learn throughout the day.

Ms. Walker Martin Luther King Middle School Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
