Back to Basics

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Jang's classroom raised $847

My Project

I am asking for basic materials and new school-year supplies for my students so that they can get the same head start as every other student in this country. Basic supplies can make the difference between a successful year and a difficult one as we scramble for the necessities.

My students are go-getters and your support would mean so much for their long-term success in this school year.

I always teach my students to be prepared before a lesson begins. I would like them to be prepared as we begin this new school year.
