My Project

The students get so excited to begin a fresh school year with new individual supplies!

Please help me set up my students of low income families for an AMAZING SCHOOL YEAR!

Basic supplies for learning to read and write are essential. By supplying each student with their own set of materials, we give them pride and ownership in their learning. Students need not feel left out or be excluded from the supplies needed based on various home situations and income levels. Providing an organized, personalized, colorful, well supplied classroom, we set them up for a great and successful school year.
