My Students

My school is located in a community that has many changes from day to day and can often not provide school supplies needed for the large number of students.

I teach in a low income Kindergarten classroom where hands on learning and manipulatives are needed for success!

My students do not have the resources to purchase basic school supplies needed for their everyday learning.

My Project

As the school year continues our students continue to learn best when they have all the supplies necessary for the lesson. Our students use pencils, crayons, dry eraser boards, dry erase markers, dry erasers, and lined paper everyday throughout multiple class periods and lessons.

Basic materials such as lined paper, dry erase markers and erasers, and writing utensils, help our students in every subject and lesson throughout our school day.

Please help our students succeed this school year by donating the materials necessary for them to utilize throughout their school day.
