Basic Items Students Need

Help me give my students things they need but not might be able afford.

My Project

This project will help supply students with the items they need to succeed in class.

Many of my students can not afford the basics that they need on a daily basis.

They are sometimes embarrassed to ask for things. The water bottles will be personalized with the wallpaper that can be used with the Circut mats. Deodorant, gum, lip balm, pens, highlighters and hand cream will be available to students who need them without asking. There will be a sign out sheet for the Chromebook chargers for students who need to use them.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
