My Project

Every child deserves to walk into a classroom that is fully equipped for learning—but too often, my students come to school without the basic supplies they need. Pencils, notebooks, crayons, glue, and folders seem small, but they are essential tools for success. Unfortunately, many families in our community cannot afford to provide them, and I often spend my own money to fill the gap.

By funding this project, you will help stock our classroom with the supplies that keep learning running smoothly.

With these materials, students won’t have to worry about showing up unprepared—they can focus on building skills, creating projects, and feeling proud of their work.

When students have what they need, they feel more confident, more focused, and more capable of success. Your support will make that possible.
