My Project

As a Special Education Teacher, I see many students who are coming into middle school at a disadvantage not only with their learning but with their access to equitable school supplies.

By being able to provide these students with the necessary school supplies, they are able to focus more on their learning, and not about their school supplies.

Many special education students struggle with organization and oftentimes lose their supplies so we like to be able to replace them throughout the year as necessary.

Often times, special education students need additional incentives to keep trying when school is challenging for them. We like to reward students to help improve their confidence, self-esteem and to encourage them to not give up when the going gets tough.
