My Project

All my students receive free breakfast and free lunch. Basic supplies like food and school supplies are not things they take for granted. I give out pencils daily, but with 150+ students, it is expensive to supply these all year from my own money.

We also go through a lot of tissue, especially during cold and flu season.

I buy tissue throughtout the year, but again - this gets expensive. It breaks my heart that if I don't provide tissue for my student, my school expects them to use hard bathroom paper towels. No one wants to use that!

My students and I thank you for any support you can give.
