Take What You Need

Help me give my students some of the daily necessities that are needed to feel comfortable during their school day.

My Project

This cart will provide our Middle School students with the items they need to feel comfortable during their day of learning. When students come into the building without having the necessary items to feel comfortable, it makes learning a much harder task. If students come to school and feel like they are not taken care of, the learning process will not happen.

This cart, filled with personal hygiene items, will help our students feel clean and comfortable in their learning environments.

Students will be able to come get what they need as needed. The goal is to make sure that ALL of our students are ready to learn in our building.

Our students come from low income families and often cannot provide daily essential items. They sometimes come in and just need an adult that is on their side and can help them feel safe. Our school is 100% free and reduced breakfast and lunch. Food is already provided, so we want to continue providing the other daily needs for our students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
