My Project

My students are bright, curious, and full of potential. However, many of them come to school without the basic supplies they need to fully participate in classroom activities. From pencils and notebooks to folders and dry erase markers, these small items make a big difference in helping our days run smoothly.

With your support, I can ensure that every child has access to the essential tools that support learning, organization, and confidence.

These items will not only help keep our classroom running efficiently but will also relieve families of the burden of constantly replacing supplies throughout the year.

Help me give my students what they need to focus on what really matters—learning and growing every day.
