My Project

This generation of learners is not like those of the past. They simply cannot sit down and focus like generations before. This is due in part to the advancement of technology. With the help of this project, my students will be provided with a safe and secure space to hold their cell phones during classroom instruction. They will also be provided with items to help organize their materials and enhance their learning process. And engaged student is a successful student! Your donation will help to ensure that my students are ready and prepared for their future outside of the classroom.
