My Project

In my school, students often arrive at class without the necessary materials. It is typically because families cannot afford the basic school supplies. By obtaining the basic school supply needs, students will be able to complete assignments and projects.

By setting up students for success, they will be more willing to participate in class and complete their assignments.

Students without basic supplies are more likely to become uninvolved in the class.

I want to be able to give all students the supplies they need if they do not come to class with them. This will help ensure their success in my class.
