My Students

Remember how you felt when you went shopping for school supplies, and how excited you were when you opened that fresh box of crayons and used them for the first time? What if you never got to experience this amazing feeling because your family couldn't afford to buy them for you?

I believe every student deserves a quality education, and there are several different tools they need to accomplish this goal.

Many of my students are unable to purchase their own school supplies, but that doesn't diminish the fact that they need them. I want to give all of my students the opportunity to have what they need in order to be successful in school. This includes giving them the proper tools they need to complete daily tasks in the classroom. My students are very bright and full of imagination. I want nurture this enthusiasm for learning by giving them school supplies.

My Project

My students will be learning several different subjects each day, and they need folders to keep their materials organized, crayons to help bring life to their projects, and incentive charts to help keep them motivated. They will need many other items to help them complete their in-class assignments, and your donations will help them accomplish their daily tasks.

Your donations are invaluable to my students.

If I could, I would give them everything they need to succeed in the classroom. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to do that on my own. Your donations will help my students reach their goals, and help close the achievement gap.
