My Students

My awesome students attend school every day. Since my students are at school all day, most consider school to be a special home away from home. My wonderful students need the bare essentials to help them become successful achievers.

Most of my students are from low-income families and are eager to learn.

My school takes the time to challenge children of all abilities to achieve excellence in a wide range of academic, cultural and extracurricular activities. The vision is to equip children for the demands and opportunities of the twenty-first century, by offering a differentiated, effective, and rigorous curriculum as an entitlement to all. A professional and highly motivated staff, in partnership with parents, encourages each child to achieve his/her full potential. In a disciplined and caring environment, based on mutual respect, each child is valued as an individual.

My Project

My students are amazing. They come to school every day with an open mind and a willingness to learn. They work hard every day to be good achievers. Most of my students are from low-income families and need personal essential items to help them without the day.

My students need deodorant, a toothbrush, and toothpaste to help them to stay fresh throughout the day.

These essential items will help my student continue to be confident as they continue their school day. My students will be able to focus more on academics and not worry about their hygiene. Please help my students get these essential personal hygiene items.
