Help me give my students an opportunity to design and create masks to help our community

My Students

Our students come from impoverished neighborhoods, the entire population are eligible for free lunch, and many lack basic “success” tools. What makes them so resilient is they come to school with the desire to get educated the best way they know how. Students who display positive behavior should be celebrated. I am in the process of creating a positive behavior room where students can play games, earn incentives, and hang out with other peers who display positive attributes. Classroom management has become an issue across the board for many educators, but giving kids an incentive to help adjust their behavior for a conducive environment.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in student's as it will create service learning opportunities for students to design and create masks for our community where the homeless population is steadily increasing.

Also, students will have the opportunity to develop entrepreneurial skillset to becoming an asset to their community.

Young ladies and gentlemen need a space to flourish, without having limitations within the realm of being creative, yet still be willing to give their time to help others.

As the pandemic continues, this will give students a sense of normalcy as they build strong relationships, develop a sense of gratitude, and willing to help and support others.
