My Project

Thank you for helping me create a safe and inviting environment for my students. The wish list helps create a room with an atmosphere students can feel comfortable in. It also helps provide snacks for students in need throughout the school day. Whether the student forgot food at home or is unable to afford it, have snacks available can help put the student at ease and just helps them learn better when they are not hungry or worried about food. Thank you for considering my project it will benefit many students.
