My Project

By donating, you are helping make sure that every student can access a pencil each day along with locating important documents on their colored paper. Students should never have to worry if they will have a pencil, if they can sharpen it or if they can locate their materials quickly. Each item will be used with intention.

Students work better in an environment that is well structured and well prepared.

Your purchases will make sure this happens day to day for the school year.

I appreciate you so much for helping my students be successful!
