My Project

Please help me support my students at our Title I school in Suffolk, VA.

By choosing to donate to my project, you would be helping me furnish my new classroom and provide my students with new sports equipment to replace the torn and battered equipment they currently have.

We do not have whiteboards or many supplies, such as pencils or lined paper. Being in a portable unit, easy access to additional supplies does raise a challenge as things such as post-its, pencils, and paper are not readily available at our disposal.
