My Project

Every day, my students come to class with incredible potential, bright ideas, and the desire to grow, even when facing challenges outside school. I love their resilience, curiosity, and unique personalities, which make our classroom a special place. They are not just learners; they are future leaders, creators, and problem solvers.

Many of my students start their day without a full meal or go hours without a snack.

This affects their energy, focus, and ability to engage with learning. Having healthy snacks available in the classroom helps them stay alert, motivated, and ready to learn. Something as small as a granola bar or applesauce pouch can make a big difference in a child's ability to concentrate and succeed.

Your support will not only help fill their stomachs but will also show them that their community believes in their education and their future.
