My Project

Scholars in this building come from culturally diverse backgrounds and experience economical and cultural bias. The importance of cultivating and maintaining a positive learning environment at the middle school level is imperative! Post pandemic, families still experience hardship which has a negative impact on these smart, caring, courageous special human beings who are brimming with potential to make a positive impact in this world.

Writing supplies such as pens, pencils and highlighters are needed to help these scholars solidify connections, take notes about their own thinking, and capture new information.

In order for these scholars to continue cultivating a positive academic path, these writing supplies are needed. Please help us continue to create positive opportunities for collaborative and autonomous learning!
