Supporting Readers, Meeting Needs

Help me give my students a safe space. I teach ELA in a Title I school. I'm building a safe, welcoming space where students grow as readers and feel cared for, with access to snacks, hygiene items,and support.

My Project

I teach ELA in a Title I school where many of my students face challenges that extend far beyond the classroom. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where they feel supported, respected, and cared for.

In addition to helping them grow as stronger, more confident readers, I’m hoping to meet some of their basic needs by providing snacks and hygiene products—no questions asked.

These small comforts can mean everything to a child who's had a hard day.

With your support, I can help students feel at home in our classroom and remind them they always have someone in their corner. Thank you for helping me build a space where learning and care go hand in hand.
