My Project

In order for students to thrive they must be given the supports needed. I’d like to be able to provide my students with resources such as literature that is inclusive to all and includes characters that are relatable to them. Additionally, I’d like to have a designated area for students to “take what they need” which includes school supplies and snacks to ensure they have what they need to be successful both in school and at home. Thank you for your generosity and support for our scholars we appreciate you!
