They have various programs that they work on throughout the day that supplement curriculum and provide them with needed skills and practice. Without a headset, it is often difficult for them to concentrate because they are hearing the computers of those who are working near them in addition to their own. The use of a headset gives them the needed privacy and focus that is needed to focus on the work they are doing.\r\n\r\nWhile some students have their own headsets, in a Title 1 low income school, the majority don't so your donations are greatly appreciated.

For many students, the free breakfast and lunch provided by school is the only food they have and so by morning they are often hungry.

Although I have scheduled a snack time, most of my students do not have a snack brought from home. I wanted all my students to be able to have a snack during snack time that is easily accessible in the classroom. Choosing a variety of snacks that my students enjoy and will be excited to eat was my goal.\r\n\r\nYou have put big smiles on my students' faces and we cannot thank you enough for your kindness and generosity that brought this project to life.
