My Project

As this school ends, we immediately begin preparing for a new one. I am requesting basic materials for our students to begin the next school year. Our kindergarten classes switch so I am requesting binders and folders that each student will carry with them to keep their things organized. I am also requesting scissors, glue, and pencils. These items are commonly used in class.

Many of our students come from large families and many of them are also of low socioeconomic status.

Beginning of the year school supplies can be a large burden on a family that has several schools. My colleagues and I are always trying to find ways to make it easier on them.

These materials will be used for all of the kindergarten students in our school. Thank you for helping to provide these very important items to our students.
