My Project

We strive to provide all our students with enriching, hands-on learning experiences. Many of our students come from low-income families and often lack access to essential school supplies that enhance their educational experience. This project aims to gather the necessary materials for experiential learning activities that will engage our students and support their academic growth.

Experiential learning fosters curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

It allows students to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world situations, making education more relevant and impactful. Unfortunately, many of our students face barriers due to a lack of resources. By providing essential supplies, we can ensure that every student has the opportunity to participate fully in hands-on learning activities. I want to ensure that our classrooms are equipped with the necessary tools to create dynamic and interactive learning spaces where students feel inspired to explore and discover. This includes pencils, a pencil sharpener and other necessary supplies for the students.

By funding this project, you will help break down the barriers that prevent our students from fully engaging in their education. With the right supplies, we can empower them to explore, experiment, and learn in ways that foster a love for knowledge and a sense of belonging in the classroom.
