My Project

I make an effort to make sure any required materials for my 8th, 9th, and 10th grade Science classes are inexpensive but too often families still struggle to afford these basic supplies. Through this project, I will be able to remove this cost barrier to ensure all students start off the school year having writing and sketching pencils needed to be successful. This project aims to create a more equitable classroom by supplying the pencils needed for sketching and writing to each and every student regardless of their family's ability to pay.
