My Project

As a first-year teacher at a Title I school, I’m preparing to welcome a bright group of 3rd graders- many of whom come from low-income housing and face daily challenges beyond the classroom.

I’m seeking support to provide snacks and essential cleaning supplies to create a safe, nurturing environment where students feel cared for and ready to learn.

A small donation of snacks and cleaning supplies can go a long way in showing these kids the love and stability they deserve each day. Your help will make a real difference in their learning and well-being. I greatly appreciate any help at all!
