My Project

Our students often don't come to school with basic supplies. We also have 7 math teachers in our department that are in their first 3 years of teaching and need some basic supplies. As the department chair, I try to provide these things to new teachers and students so that I can eliminate one more barrier or stress in their day.

When a student doesn't have a pencil or supplies for an activity it makes the day smoother when they can just grab what they need from me and get straight to learning!

No more wasting time or feeling unprepared.
