My Project

This project supports one school serving a high number of students from low-income families by helping to kick off the school year with the supplies they need to thrive—both creatively and academically.

The focus is twofold: First, we aim to provide essential art supplies for the school’s Art Club, which engages 32 students in creative expression through painting, drawing, and crafting.

These materials will give students a meaningful outlet to explore their talents and build confidence.

Second, classroom tools like headphones, dry erase boards, and erasers will help students start the school year with the essentials they need for daily learning activities, group work, and independent practice. These supplies will directly support instruction and engagement from day one.

Together, these resources will create a welcoming and well-equipped environment where every student has the tools they need to succeed—regardless of their financial situation.
