My Project

Our first graders always need basic school supplies. Unfortunately, some of our little ones cannot afford new supplies. We enjoy surprising our students with supplies throughout the school year.

We only have a few months left of school, and we want to finish the school year on a high note.

Our little ones need to be prepared for second grade. We are asking for paper, pencils, glue sticks, laminating sheets, and other basic school supplies. Our students need these supplies to finish their daily assignments and homework. Please consider a donation to our basic school supply project.
