My Project

Hello! I’m a proud first grade teacher, and my classroom is full of bright, eager learners who come ready to explore, grow, and achieve. But for many of them, learning can be tough when their bellies are empty or when their environment doesn’t feel clean and safe. With your support, I hope to provide healthy snacks to keep my students energized and focused throughout the day. Many of them rely on school meals as their primary source of nutrition, and having extra snacks on hand helps ensure no child goes hungry or has to struggle through lessons while distracted by hunger.

In addition, I’m requesting cleaning essentials like disinfectant wipes, paper towels, and hand soap to help maintain a healthy classroom.

With young children, messes and germs are part of everyday life, and keeping our space clean is key to keeping everyone safe and present for learning. Your donation will directly support my students well being, helping them stay fueled, focus, and healthy. Thank you for being a part of our learning journey.
