My Project

I teach approximately 80 kids (and counting) and will be in need of supplies. Many students do not come to school prepared and I would like to make sure they have everything they need to succeed.

I am planning on making "back to school" supply kits for the students that I work with, grades 3-5.

I want them to be able to come to my classroom, ready to learn without having to worry about finding a pencil or whiteboard marker. I want to make sure they have all the materials at their fingertips and we dive into STEM driven lessons!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
