My Project

My school serves many families in transition which means they don’t necessarily have the means to bring school supplies.

In the past I have used community supplies so everyone has what they need, however, I have noticed this creates a negative morale in the classroom as students are fighting over supplies.

With this project, my goal is to supply 3 classrooms in our grade level with the supplies everyone will need. They will keep their supplies in their own supply box, and this will eliminate the need to compete for supplies.
