My Project

I am a 6th, 7th, and 8th grade para educator at a Title I school. I have been teaching the last 7 years in a Special Day Class (SDC). Many of my students come from low-income households, but this doesn't stop them from achieving their goals. My students are dedicated and hard-working. Please help me provide snacks to my middle school students so they can focus and find success. They need this daily. Help me fill their bellies. Granola bars and snack items are also important staples in my classroom as well so that hungry students don't go unnoticed. My middle school students love our prize box. We can use and refresh our prize box. The kids love picking prizes weekly after turning in their punch cards.
