My Students

Our classes are filled with wonderful and diverse students who are very eager to learn. Our school is located in a low-income community, which can make teaching a challenge at times. The shortage of funds makes it difficult for us to get the resources needed.

My students love to learn.

One of our favorite quotes is, "The only limits in life are the ones you make."—Anonymous.

My Project

We love to motivate our students to increase their academic and behavioral goals. We are seeking support to have our students motivated to reach their academic or behavioral goals with special snacks and treats as incentives. Our students enjoy having fruit snacks, crackers, water, and Gatorade to keep them working and focused.

Our students have lost 18 months in an instructional setting due to the pandemic and are adjusting with prior learning deficits and current deficits to new grade level requirements.

Providing snacks makes the difference between students learning and being successful or not being successful. It is a simple request that will make a huge impact on my students. They will be able to focus and keep their stamina up for the entire day. The Keurig maker will be used to make hot chocolate for our students and coffee will be used for the parents/guardians. The refrigerators will be used to store our water and Gatorade.
