My Project

Every student deserves to begin school with the supplies they need to succeed. Unfortunately, not all students' families are able to supply them with what they need to succeed. So, I am here on their behalf to ask you to step in and help me supply them with what they will need,

My list is not large but each item on the list will make a world of difference.

We need notebooks, pencils, crayons, folders and glue to begin the year off right.

Please consider this project as you think about helping out students and know if you choose this one you have not only helped but made a world of difference, Thanking you in advance for your gift.
