My Project

My students come from many different background's and cultures but their needs are the same. Throughout the day, hungry tends to set in so having extra snacks on hand help them focus during the school day. Also, students will often ask for food to take home. I have also found that students tend to not want to come to school due to the limited hygiene products at home. Students know they are more than welcome to stop in my office to take what they need without being judged.

My students are easy to love, they brighten my day with a smile or joke even when things are hard for them.
