My Project

Middle school can be tough—and for many of my students at our Title I school, daily challenges like hunger, sensory overload, and lack of focus make learning even harder.

I want to create a more supportive classroom environment by providing healthy snacks, calming lighting, and fidget tools.

These small additions make a huge difference for students who are hungry, anxious, or struggling to concentrate. A quick snack can restore energy and focus. Soft lighting helps reduce stress. Quiet fidgets offer a helpful outlet for restless energy without distraction.

Your donation will help meet basic needs and create a classroom where every student feels more comfortable, cared for, and ready to learn. Thank you for supporting the whole child—not just academically, but emotionally and physically, too.
