This project is fully funded
My Students
Our first and second graders are energetic, enthusiastic, and super social. They are so enjoyable to be around. They love being involved in the learning process and want to succeed.
Learning never stops!
Our school is located in northwest, Milwaukee. Most of our families struggle with poverty, which creates difficult in having supplies needed for learning at school and home. Our goal is to provide an equitable education for each student by using DonorsChoose to be able to have the resources and supplies needed for them to reach their full potential.
My Project
It becomes difficult to run a classroom when you need more pencils, folders, and sharpeners. This project is all about ensuring that we have those basics.
A well-organized classroom offers a clear and productive message to students.
A well-organized classroom needs the necessary supplies to function. The supplies from this project will be put to use right away. The materials in this project will make a huge difference in student learning as it will maximize learning time. Instead of clutter and chaos, students will have the supplies needed to stay organized and on-task.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
