My Project

As I start to plan for the next school year, I hope to be able to obtain essential school supplies for each student.

I want to eliminate the burden of parents to provide the basic and essential supplies needed for a successful school year.

Many families struggle with the additional expense of supplies. I would love to be able to have what each student needs ready for them when they enter my room on the first day of school. This would ensure a great start to the school year and overall positive experience in 4th grade.

Dr. McKinley
Grades 3-5
    More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households

    This project will reach 25 students.
