My Students

Our school has over an 80% free-and-reduced lunch program. We are also a Title I school. Many of our students come from challenging homes and don’t have the resources for simple classroom supplies. These kids deserve all that I can give them, but sadly, I have reached how much I can possibly give! Please help join me in giving these underprivileged kids the best that they deserve! My students may not have a lot, but that doesn't keep them from giving their education all they can.

My Project

Many students struggle with writing and doing things with their hands. They struggle because they need to work on their fine motor skills. These items will help the students strengthen their fingers and hands so that they can improve their writing and their abilities to use materials like scissors. The students write daily and they struggle writing on the lines and writing legibly because they have poor fine motor skills. These items will be used at the end of the day when they are having free time. They will use these items to strengthen their skills and improve their ability to write.
