My Project

Help Give my Students some essentials to help them Learn! By having these supplies though they seem simple will help ensure they have everything they need to learn better. Pencils and seating to snacks each of these will impact a students learning. By having these things available to them they are better equipped to learn without having to worry about not having them. They also may come to school hungry and by having snacks they will be able to better focus during the day by being able to fill their bellies.
