My students are a wonderful group of young adults who are striving to learn as much as possible each day. They all have hopes and dreams of attending college after graduation. For some, they will be the first in their family to attend college. Each day, we work together using critical thinking and STEM skills to work toward their goals. My students have to overcome obstacles each day, yet they don't let any of them get them off track. My school consists of a diverse population, including military-affiliated families; 75% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch.
My Project
COVID19 had turned the entire world of education upside down this past year. My students are finally getting ready to return to our classroom since March 2020. A lot of my students feel that they are already behind, so I offer them extra tutoring before and afterschool to help them practice their math problems and ensure them they are on track for success. With so many of my students coming form low income and poverty, majority of my students are always hungry and looking a snack. So when they arrive to school early or stay late for math tutoring, I want to make sure that they have the opportunity to have access to a snack. I am requesting a variety of snack options to keep my students ready to learn by keeping their body fueled. Without your support my students would not have access to such snacks to remind them they are loved. Thank you for considering to support my students through this project.
