My Project

I teach at a Title 1 school. Everyday my students come in with a variety of needs that need to be fulfilled to help them learn that day. I am in need of more snacks to keep them fueled through the school day, and also to take home in the evenings. We are also in need of extra changes of clothing for things like accidents, and spills. Many of my students do not have an extra change of clothing in their backpack for situations like this, and it would alleviate the parents having to pick them up and leave their job, as well as the nurse's office being filled with students who need new clothing.

I teach the sweetest group of kids who are always doing the best they can with what they have.

I would love to be able to continue making school a safe and secure place for them to come everyday, and be able to help our parents out when accidents happen.
