My Project

The number one request I get from students all year long is for socks. Many students come to school all winter long without socks on their feet. Most are too embarrassed to ask but when I see it I discreetly give it to them.

Students often come back for other needs and bring other students who are too afraid to ask.

Building these relationships of trust are essential in challenging environments. Students come in wearing inappropriate clothing and need a change of clothes. students who are worried about socks and shirts and pants are not focusing on learning.

By helping us address our students basic needs you have help create a path to learning and success.
