My middle school students are awesome. They can be happy, moody, helpful, courteous, hard-working, brave and inquisitive, sometimes all in the same day!
Some live in the local neighborhood and walk to school while others are from the inner city and ride a bus a couple of hours a day.
Many of these students have chosen to come to our school for the performing arts. Others are here for the Marine Science Academy. We offer afterschool programs, such as sports and tutoring. Our school is a community, and we take care of each other.
My Project
This project is so important. Some of our female students need underwear and socks. Maybe they do not own enough to have a clean pair every day or maybe they had an accident while they are adjusting to the changes in their bodies. The navy sweatshirts, which are part of the school uniform, will keep them warm.
Some of my students don't have basic personal supplies, such as underwear, at home.
If money is tight, underwear, socks, and a uniform conforming sweatshirt may not be a priority. Some students have to wear the same pair of underwear or socks for a few days in a row. The rips, tears, and stains are especially embarrassing when it is time to change for PE or Dance class. Many of them do not own a navy sweatshirt.
Please help me improve the daily lives of my students with new underwear, socks and sweatshirts. Thank you.
