My Project

My 7th grade students come to me eager to learn and actively participate in class. The majority join us from homes where supplies are not priority. With bills, and food, there often is not money for academic needs.

I need help securing paper and pencils to get us through the end of the year and to set us up for success in the Fall.

We use these tools daily in our English Language Arts classes. Students have exhausted my supply closet. I am in great need and appreciate anything you can offer for support. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration and support.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
