My Project

In our close-knit Navajo community, we understand the value of supporting one another, especially when it comes to education. Many of our students require additional assistance in ELA and writing, and any support, no matter how small, can make a significant difference in their learning journey.

The supplies we are requesting play a crucial role in providing the extra support our Navajo students need to thrive academically.

Writing folders offer a dedicated space for students to organize their work and track their progress, instilling a sense of responsibility and ownership over their learning. Staplers allow students to compile their writing into portfolios, showcasing their growth and achievements over time, while pencils provide the necessary tools for expression and creativity in their written work.

A rolling cart ensures that these supplies are easily accessible to all students, promoting inclusivity and convenience in our classroom environment. Additionally, scissors facilitate hands-on, interactive activities that engage students and reinforce learning concepts in ELA and writing.

Our goal for this project is to create a supportive and empowering learning environment where every one of our Navajo student's feels valued and capable of achieving academic success. By providing them with these essential supplies, we aim to bridge the gap in resources and help level the playing field for our students who require extra support.

What makes our students truly special is their resilience, cultural heritage, and strong sense of community. Despite facing various challenges, they remain determined and eager to learn, drawing strength from their Navajo identity and the support of their peers and educators. Together, as a community, we can provide our students with the tools and resources they need to succeed in ELA and writing, laying the foundation for a bright and promising future.
