Help me give my students food when they are hungry, snacks to energize them, cups for water, and nonperishable goods to take home during the holiday season.
This school year will be a hybrid learning approach, where our high-risk or high-need students spend their days in the classroom and the majority of others will work online. More than half of our students come from low-income households, and seek comfort from their teachers.
My students are bright, excited, young individuals who are looking forward to coming back to their classrooms this year.
Please help me give them the leverage they need to succeed.
My Project
The most basic need we have as human beings is the need to eat food and drink water. It is heartbreaking that in the United States of America, in the year 2020, we still have students being sent to school on empty stomachs, with no food in their pantry at home, dehydrated and hungry.
It is my hope to help provide the hungry students in my classroom with non perishable food to take home during the holidays, and give them the motivation to learn, engage, and grow by offering them snacks.
I am asking for a plethora of snacks for my students, cups for water (many do not own hydro-flasks), and a hot water tea kettle for students to use to make mac n cheese, kimchee bowls, and tea.
I am also requesting a couple different teas, dedicated to different needs found in the classroom. Some students need a quick perk up, so I am requesting a breakfast tea. Some students walk in the door crying, and could benefit from having a selection of comforting teas available to soothe them. Some students come in upset, and would appreciate having the sweet tangerine tea to help enhance their mood. My goal here is to introduce the students to a healthy, holistic method of coping with emotions that lead to distractions and lack of focus.
I am hoping this project is funded sooner rather than later, I think this is the most important one I have ever posted. These students are suffering from lack of basic needs, and they deserve a little bit of a break this holiday season. Help me provide comfort, food, and help motivate these kids for a better future.
