Students need to become experts in the field of research in order to compete with their peers on the next level. We need to be able to get by the basics in order to even begin to get them where they need to be. We don’t even have enough supplies for students to keep physical portfolios. We are moving towards having an in-school Chromebook for each student, but now we need headphones and other basic materials to help our alternative school function and compete like a comprehensive school. Basic supplies like pens and folders can help make our students whole. Thanks!
