My Project
What I love most about my students is their excitement to learn and show up every day ready to grow—regardless of what challenges they may face at home. As a first-year teacher, it breaks my heart to see students go without basic school supplies simply because their families can’t afford them or don’t have the means to provide them.
This project is about giving every student in my class a strong, confident start.
With your support, my students will have access to essential supplies like pencils, composition books, crayons, glue sticks, and Sharpies for projects and creative learning activities throughout the year. These materials will not only support their academic needs but also help build a sense of independence, pride, and belonging in the classroom.
By removing the stress of “not having,” we’re creating a space where every child can focus on what really matters—learning, growing, and believing in themselves.
