My Project

We are already preparing for next school year! I would like to be able to give my students who can't afford all the supplies they need to start school. I want them to have new supplies, including pens, cardstock paper, and erasers, just like all the other kids, and not hand-me-down supplies.

I think this helps build teacher/student relationships at the beginning of the year, and it will help keep them working and organized while in class.

They will not be behind or distracted for not having the supplies they need to work and grow academically.
