My Project
My new immigrant students are in need of backpacks to help them start this school year off strong. Most school days are pretty difficult for my students because even though they adore school they do not have adequate supplies such as backpacks to complete a whole day of learning. When we were completing half of last school and I noticed that the school supplies and cleaning materials are running extremely low and may not last until this school year was complete. Please help us keep learning happening for all students at our school, so that they will have less worries and more learning opportunities.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
