LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Making sure children in need get help at school. A teacher at a Las Vegas valley elementary school is restarting her efforts aimed at providing snacks and other necessities so students can focus on learning.

“I do have some non-perishables. I have some snacks. Things like apple sauce and granola bars.”

Kristan Nigro keeps a well-stocked closet in her classroom at Steve Schorr Elementary School. It contains more than just snacks.

“I keep toiletries such as shampoo and conditioner. I have toothbrushes and toothpaste,” she said.
