My Project

We enroll new students every month. Some come to our middle school with all the necessary school supplies. Some students don't have what they need and this project will help with that. Local business help with many school supplies- pencils, notebooks, pens, folder, etc.

This project is asking for things that are not often donated but much needed.

Backpacks are used by a majority of students. For some families, the price is too much for their family's budget. Scientific calculators are a required supply item but are an expense some families can't afford. Earbuds are used daily with student laptops. The items requested in this project are not typically included in donations we receive yet, there is a need.

Your support will help our new students feel welcomed and be ready for a new start!
