My Project

The items within my list are to help with essential learning of my Title I middle school students within rural South Carolina. There are basic classroom essentials from cleaning supplies, from tissues and hand sanitizer, pencils and pens.

With classroom supply costs at an all-time high, and a limited budget it is difficult to ensure the basic needs of my students are met and I want to ensure their academic success by ensuring equitable access to basic school supplies and a clean and safe environment.

There are also short children's books to assist with teaching life skills. Treating one another with kindness, not judging others, being yourself, and other Social Emotional Learning topics that are important to the developmental needs of middle-level learners in the 21st century.
