Help Purchase Basic Needs for Our Students!

My Students

I know everyone says this, but our students are truly spectacular. We are a large, public elementary school with kind staff and awesome kids, but many of these are kids who are have lived through very hard times.

Our school is beautifully diverse.

Our students speak 27 languages at home and come from all over the world. We are a community of achievers who overcome odds like poverty, homelessness, and trauma to become the best kids they can be. We're at an 80% free and reduced lunch rate.

My Project

Our awesome kids and their families need basic supplies like laundry detergent, shampoo, and soap (for showers and for cleaning dishes). Many of our families live in extreme poverty and could really use help buying the kinds of items that get used every day.

Please help our kids come to school happy, healthy, and clean!

Your donation will go a very long way. These items may seem small, but will make a world of difference to many families.

All kids deserve to feel comfortable and clean, and our school would love to be able to provide families with the things they need.
