My Students

Our class is a diverse group of unique individuals who come together to learn. Despite the many economic and personal challenges the children face, they come to school with the spirit and determination to learn. The majority of our students come from low-income households and shelters near the area. Despite those challenges, they are always eager to learn.

My students are curious and inquisitive individuals who thrive when challenged with appropriate curriculum and learning materials.

All children should have access to curriculum-enhancing materials no matter their backgrounds. Your donation will truly make a difference in their lives.

My students are very motivated to learn and I am very proud to be their teacher. I hope to inspire them to become successful someday by instilling in them the value of hard work, patience, kindness, and perseverance.

My Project

The classroom supplies I am requesting are essential in our everyday routine and will greatly benefit my students' academic performance by having the materials they need at their fingertips. My students use pencils for daily class work in all subjects. They use crayons and markers to draw and color artwork and illustrations.

These materials will greatly help my students achieve their great potential by having the supplies they need to begin the school year.

This project will help take the pressure off my students' parents having to worry about purchasing school supplies. This will allow families to focus on the other needs they may have due to the pandemic.
