Spread Kindness

Help me give my students quality snack options for the new school year.

My Students

I teach music to all of the students at my school. We sing and dance all day. It sure is fun. They vary in age, but music is forever.

My students do not know music as​ I do and I want to teach them the ways of music through instruments and sound.

Music is sweet to the ear, pure and peaceful. Students should experience music through play and sound.

My students vary from ages four to ten. They all come from a variety of homes and situations. My students need these materials to successfully accomplish real music comprehension and appreciation. My students are in need of many things, such as love, attention, and classroom materials. It is my goal to see to it that they are taken care of, as well as teach music.

My Project

This new school year is sounding not too different than last year and my heart is already going out to the students as I know they were hoping to get back to normal just as I was. Hybrid learning will take place this year as well. I am trying to spread kindness through quality snacks to the students in need. The project is requesting water, popcorn, trail mix, fruit, and more.

The snack options requested in this project will assist students in the class as well as those at home that are in need of healthy snack options.

I am grateful for knowing that some of the students will be able to come into the building as I can spread more kindness that way!
