My Students

I work at a Title I school on the West Side of Chicago filled with amazing learners and educators. Each and every day our students show up, no matter what is going on in their personal lives, and put their heart and soul into learning. Even though my students may not have everything they need, you would never know that by watching them learn.

My goal, as their teacher, is to expose my students to opportunities that will help them grow and achieve greatness.

My Project

I am requesting snacks to help keep my students fueled and focused! Snacks are an essential supply needed for all classrooms. Throughout the day students get hungry for a variety of reasons: didn't eat breakfast, the 2 pm slump, staying late for practice, etc. It is important to me that I have a variety of snacks available at all times for students who need some.

The chosen snacks cover a variety of preferences and occasions so they can be enjoyed by all of my students throughout the school day.

Keeping our students fueled is a great way to ensure focus and attention when learning!
