My Students

Our community is low income, and having these supplies would make a world of difference to the students. Often times, students lack the basic necessities that most people take for granted. My students love to learn and are hardworking kids. They always strive to do their best.

My Project

This project is for basic materials needed for school and everyday. These items include personal care items as well as school supplies they might need. The items include paper, folders, books that can be sent home with students to read for their reading assignments, headphones (they use these with their computers), basic board and logic games I can give them for their birthdays, deodorant, toothpaste, eye glass holders, pencil sharpeners, staplers, usb storage for their laptops, pens, body wash, storage items to store material like binder storage, book ends, lap desks, socks, and folders.

Students need basic self-care need and basic school supplies to be successful!
