My Project

Many families are struggling financially, and it is hard to give their children basic school materials. Basic classroom materials and supplies we use daily are becoming very hard to come by. Unfortunately, many students’ families cannot afford to buy supplies for their children. We need these basic supplies in our classroom. We need these materials to help us learn and would love to continue the year with the right supplies. We would also like to have tissues to get through cold and flu season.

My students are such hard workers and deserve the same basic classroom supplies that more privileged schools can easily give.

Please help our students continue to learn by donating basic school supplies to our classroom!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
