My Project

All of our students want to feel confident, focused, and equipped when they walk into class. At our public school where many students face daily challenges, even small tools can make a big difference in the learning experience. Right now, many students come to class without basic supplies like pencils, highlighters, or tape. These simple items are used every day to complete assignments, highlight important information, and organize materials effectively.

Markers and highlighters help students engage with science vocabulary, diagrams, and lab instructions in colorful and creative ways.

Tape and pencils keep student notebooks neat and functional. Mints and chips are small snacks, but they offer big benefits; they help students stay focused, reduce anxiety, and boost energy during long school days. These small comforts create a welcoming, calm, and productive classroom atmosphere.

With your support, students will be able to stay organized, focused, and prepared whether they are working independently or collaborating in groups. These supplies will travel with us through every project, lab, and test, helping us build a strong foundation for success all year long.
