My Project

My students come to school ready to learn and have fun! We need some basic supplies in order to start our school year out strong.

Items like pencils, crayons, markers, and glue sticks may not seem like much, but they will go a long way towards my students’ success!

I know my scholars have unlimited potential, and these items would help us reach our literacy and learning goals. Each of these supplies would be used daily within the classroom, whether it be pencils and crayons for designing masterpieces, or a quick broom to clean up afterwards. Thank you for helping us reach for success!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
