My Project

My students are little seedlings ready to be watered. I have the opportunity to work with some of the brightest young minds in the world. I strive daily to become the best teacher that I can be and expose them to as much as I can, while I can. Our school is located in a rural area. We are a Title I school where 100% of our students receive free lunches.

In order for them to compete with the best of the best and be provided the same opportunities as the rest, we need help to provide them with the needed resources.

We are looking for donations for school supplies and other daily essentials like sanitizer, hand soap, Kleenex, paper towels, a mobile desk and laminator, folders, and other essential items we will need throughout the year.

This project will allow us to supply the students with the needed materials so their focus and can be on continued learning. The mobile desk and laminator will help students with creating durable learning center activities that can be taken home. The Kleenex, hand soap, sanitizer, and paper towels are to help keep germs down to a minimal so that students are healthy and ready to learn.

We know that the school year has just begun and these materials requested will help us throughout the school year. Funding this project will do just that!
