My Project

I teach at a Title I school where many of our students face challenges both inside and outside the classroom. Despite limited resources, my students are creative, curious, and eager to learn. They thrive when given opportunities to take ownership of their work and share it with others.

The supplies I’m requesting—baskets, a laminator, and pens—will help create a more organized and efficient classroom environment.

The baskets will keep materials easily accessible, the pens will support daily assignments, and the laminator will allow students to preserve and proudly display their projects. These tools will help students create real-world projects and showcase their learning in meaningful ways.

Your support will help my students complete their assignments with confidence and take pride in their accomplishments. Thank you for helping bring these essentials into our classroom!
