My Project

Many of our student's families struggle with providing school supplies each year. Our students are coming to school with few to no school supplies of their own and we hope to provide a way to ease the burden for these parents. Our school is looking to provide class sets of scissors, rulers, and other basic necessities that our students use every day to learn and grow.

This project will give students for many years the supplies needed for day-to-day learning.

Each child deserves to focus more on their learning and not worry about not having basic school supplies. These school supplies will be a welcomed relief to parents who are disadvantaged financially or struggling in other ways. Our goal is to make sure that no family has to chose between school supplies and food.
