My Students

My amazing students come from different cultures and live in lower income house holds. Our community has large families and many students maybe foster families or single parent house holds . My 34 preschoolers are young ages 3 to 5 years . We are here to help not only our students but we include the families we serve and try to educate the family as a whole .

My Project

These snacks will help provide students the fuel they need to make learning fun.

Many of our families during this pandemic have struggles and one large struggle in our community is ensuring students get enough to eat during the classroom time.

Our students will use these snacks to eat when they are learning through remote learning or when they need a snack while completing work at home after school. These snacks will be given to children who need extra fuel to not worry about being hungry or getting enough to eat.
