My Project

Often times during the day, students arrive to class without the necessary materials for learning. When they ask, I'd like to be able to take care of them in class and keep moving along with the lesson for the day. I am unable to do that if I don't have items on hand for them to continue with the learning process.

Having the necessary materials such as paper, pencils, or extra worksheets available ensures that my students will be successful in completing daily work, homework, and getting missing work completed.

I know that with your help and kind donations, the African American students that attend my school would definitely feel at ease about school, learning, and completing assignments if they know they can get a notebook and get settled in to work.
