My Project

As we prepare to start a brand-new school year, we’re gathering key materials that will help our students leap into learning with confidence and excitement! This project will provide essential supplies like pencils, notebooks, paper, whiteboard erasers, pencil pouches, and a TIME for Kids magazine subscription.

These items may seem simple, but they play a big role in daily learning.

Pencils, notebooks, and paper will support writing, math, and note-taking. Whiteboard erasers make it easy for students to engage during whole-group lessons. Pencil pouches will help them stay organized, while the TIME for Kids subscription will expose them to current events, nonfiction texts, and rich vocabulary.

With your support, our students will start the year equipped and ready to take big learning leaps!
