My Project

My students financially can't afford to replenish their supplies and I try so hard each day to help them do so. By supplying my students with their basic essentials (pens, pencils, tape ) will allow them to grow both academically and emotionally. They love new supplies and enjoy being creative with them

They enjoy hanging their work on all of our bulletin boards to show off as they call it- for all the other students to see.

And it gives them all confidence , allowing for them to grow as individuals

My students need the basic essentials to create a environment in our classroom and outside of it to make things come to life and support all my unique students.
