My Project

At T. High School, in ENL (former ESL) department, we have received a wonderful and plentiful influx of donated clothes and items for our ENL (ESL) students, and we are immensely grateful for the generosity shown by our community and fellow teachers. These donations are making a significant difference for our students, many of whom are in great need of these essential items.

To keep these donations organized and easily accessible for our students, we are in need of clothes racks and a simple shelf.

Having a few sturdy clothes racks would help us store and display the donated items in an orderly manner, making it easier for our students to find what they need.

These racks would greatly assist us in managing our office space and ensuring that these donations reach those who need them most. Thank you for considering this request and for your continued support of our ENL (ESL) program at Proctor High School in Utica, NY.
