My Project

Having essential back-to-school supplies is vital for both teachers and students. Rather than having to choose between school clothes and school supplies, my students need to focus on being in class and being present, ready to learn.

Having the basic school supplies like pencils, notebooks, pens, folders, and other everyday needed items, my students can focus on learning!

Having what you need allows students to focus and not worry about needing pencils, notebooks, pens, or other basic school supplies. Providing essential school supplies takes pressure off the students and parents, which gives the teacher the freedom to teach!
