My Students
Our school is a Title I school that serves students in high poverty and low economic areas. Most students at our school receive free or reduced-rate lunches and are a part of the targeted assistance programs to help identify students who are at risk for failing state achievements. Most of our students will be the first generation to successfully finish high school or attend post-secondary institutions. Our students are eager to learn but face several challenges, such as being ESL (English as a Second Language) or contributing to their family needs. Students need support and supplies that will provide basic needs throughout the school year. Our students must learn how to be mentally and emotionally prepared for school without the stress of basic school supplies.
My Project
The parents in my school face economic hardships such as transportation and day-to-day living costs such as food. To many students, our school is like a second home. Our school provides important essentials, resources, and technology, which many of them may not have in their homes.
I am currently the Athletic Director for all afterschool sports.
It is important that students have snacks and drinks in order to energize after school.
An old saying I have heard from time and time again is "The people who give you their food, give you their heart".
I would like for students to know I care for them and If I can offer them something so simple such as a snack, I think it will help them know that they are not alone. This will help student socially and emotionally focus on the game.
The items included on this project will be use as snacks for after school sports either before or after the game. Often times students don’t have the funds to bring their own food items after school and most don't eat their own school lunch but I hope this small token will alleviate some appetites. This will allow students to focus on the task at hand without feeling hungry.
This project will help support the volleyball, track, and basketball teams.
