My Project

If you could contribute to the life of the next leader of the free world, would you take the opportunity? Most people would say yes immediately! Well, here is your chance. Hi, I am a Title I teacher of some amazing first graders in North Minneapolis.

These first graders are going to do great things in this world, but are facing challenges that impede their abilities.

Your donation can directly contribute to purchasing classroom supplies for these first graders, as many of them receive free and reduced lunch and are unable to afford items off the school supply list such as books collections, headphones, chart paper, and of course writing instruments. These supplies will enable the students to have meaningful learning experiences and complete their educational activities on a daily basis. It is vital that students come to class prepared to learn and with your donation, they will be equipped with the necessary materials and snacks.

I believe that all students should be afforded a great educational experience regardless of their economic status, however, there are a lot of disadvantaged children in the North Minneapolis area. Through the support of the community, we can provide the resources that allow these children to go to school and learn without concern for what supplies they will have access to. Your donations will go to support the education of these young minds of today, who will become the future leaders of tomorrow, and shape the world for the better. I thank you for your consideration in donating.
