My Project

As the school year wraps up, I'm reflecting on how far my students have come — their growth, their resilience, and their dreams for the future. Many of my students come from diverse backgrounds, and having access to essential supplies can make a huge difference in their confidence and ability to succeed.

I'm hoping to send them off into summer — and welcome them back next year — with the tools they need: notebooks, pencils, crayons, folders, and other basic materials.

With your support, I can provide each child with a "starter kit" that will help bridge the summer learning gap and start the next school year strong.

Every notebook filled, every pencil sharpened, and every crayon used is another step toward a bright, empowered future. Your donation, big or small, will directly place supplies in the hands of students who truly need them.

Thank you for believing in the power of education and helping my students dream bigger, learn deeper, and reach higher!
