How Project Benefits Students

With this grant I will be able to purchase healthy snacks and school supplies that can be distributed to the student population on an as need basis. Memorial Middle School is primarily made up of minorities, accounting for 91% of the student population. Within this population some of my students are considered to be homeless and work with the McKinney-Vento National Center for Homeless Education. Additionally, 76% of the students are considered to be economically disadvantaged. Although they are provided with a lunch, I am still having students come to my office requesting snacks as they are still hungry. This in turn will cause the child to not be able to focus on their class. With this grant, I will be able to assist with their basic need of being well nourished. In hopes that they will be able to not worry about being hungry throughout the day. The towels and personal hygiene products would be for those students who might have an accident in school and needs to shower. We also provide have families in the McKinney Vento program and are homeless. These products will help the students to be able to attend school without fear of being targeted for what some might take for granted.  

 

Expected Outcome(s)

The expected outcome of this project is that students will be able to perform better in class and want to come to school and do their best.
