My Project

We have made it to the spring semester, and with it comes more student needs. We have a very difficult time getting pencils, pens, and paper. Our classroom has been without a sharpener for months.

It's a distance to the finish line, and we need these classroom supplies to keep us moving.

Your generous donations would be greatly appreciated. Students are inspired when they come to class and have the tools they need to succeed. At this time of year, most parents are no longer thinking about school supplies now.
