Lemoore, CA Grades 6-8

I am an 8th grade United States History teacher on board a US Naval Air-Station. We educate the children of the men & women of the United States Armed Forces.

As my students are constantly in transition their schooling often suffers. As a result skills start to suffer. This is their last chance before high school to learn good organizational skills and study habits.

If we can outfit our students with new binders and divider tabs at the beginning of the year, we can get them into the habit of staying organized and keeping track of their work.

By donating to such a worthy cause, supporting the children of the men & women protecting your freedoms, you can help empower students to take pride in their work habits. This pride will then translate into higher grades and test scores.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
