My Project

Every child deserves to feel safe, cared for, and comfortable throughout their school day. In our classroom, we strive to create an environment where students can focus on their learning without worrying about their basic needs.

This project is designed to provide essential items to meet the needs of my students, such as hygiene products (deodorant, baby wipes, band-aids, and ointments), and snacks (granola bars, hot chocolate mix, trail mix, and chocolate) to keep them fueled.

Additionally, we are requesting paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils to support classroom activities, celebrations, and everyday needs.

These materials will help ensure that students feel nurtured and supported, so they can thrive academically and socially. Your generous contribution will bring warmth, care, and nourishment to our classroom community.
