My Project

Over the past years of teaching I came up with a list of supplies that my students need on daily basis. Some supplies that I am asking to help me purchase are spiral notebooks and sharpies, that kids from some families simply can't afford to buy. Some supplies like gum can help kids with concentration. Bright-color markers with help students visually organize information presented, and eraser tops with solve the problem of smears on paper.

Most of the supplies I am asking to purchase I have been buying myself.

I realized that I have been spending hundreds of dollars on purchasing these supplies for my students. After years of doing that I decidied to ask for your generous help to get these items for my learners.

Some items from the list are reusable, which means your donation will impact hundreds of students for years to come. The whiteboard erasers, for example, can be used for at least 3-5 years before they need to be replaced.

I want to thank you, dear donor, in advance for taking your time to read this. I hope you have a blessed day!
