My Project

Help Us Finish the School Year Strong with Snacks & Supplies!

I teach at an inner-city Title I school in Milwaukee, serving students from K3 through 8th grade.

Our school community faces significant challenges, including limited funding and resources. Many of our students come to school without basic supplies or snacks to help them stay focused and energized throughout the day.

This project will help provide snacks and essential supplies to support students through the remainder of the school year and send them home with extra items for summer. These simple items go a long way in helping our kids feel cared for, stay engaged, and end the school year on a positive note.

With your support, we can ensure that every child leaves school feeling supported, nourished, and ready to enjoy their summer.
