My Project

As things start to return back to what it was before the pandemic, we look to the new school year where all of our kids will be back in person again. Children born in 2018 are living in a time where half their life has been interrupted and had many things put on pause due to the pandemic. As our school system moves forward to moving closer and closer to what it was pre-pandemic, I want this year to be an unforgettable experience for our young learners.

Come September, it will be our second year returning to the classroom since the pandemic disrupted in-person learning.

Nothing can replace learning in the classroom. However, we cannot disregard the fact that learning doesn't stop when our kids leave school. I am asking for your support in supplying our kids at home with basic supplies.

Personal baggies with supplies such as scissors, glue, markers, crayons, pens, pencils, journals, and books will be a great start to kick off the exciting school year. Students will be able to have materials in their home so they can continue what they learned from school during after school hours at home.
