My Project

Help me provide my students with composition notebooks to help address the lasting gaps in education caused by COVID-19. To help make up for the loss of learning in a post-pandemic world, it is more important than ever that we are raising a generation of students who are able to effectively communicate and write. I hope to create an environment that empowers kids to want to write and learn about the power and purpose behind words. Composition notebooks provide a unique opportunity for students to express themselves in a variety of different mediums. Thank you for any donations that help my students!
