My Project

At Franklin Upper High School we believe that every student should be able to learn and show their learning, regardless of whether or not they remember to bring their supplies.

If a student needs a pencil we hand them a pencil.

We love our students, but we are running low on pens and pencils.

Many of our students do not have money to go out and buy extra school supplies throughout the year. Students rely on classroom supplies such as pens and pencils.

Whether or not students remember their supplies should not impact their learning or their grades.

Every student deserves the chance to learn and show their learning!

Mrs. Micali Padilla High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
