Help me give my students the schools supplies they need to be successful.

My Students

What I love about my students are they humble me and teach me. My diverse learners will go over and beyond for their learning. They are creative, inquisitive and fearless when learning new materials. They give me their all no matter how difficult the learning.

My Project

Students and families have faced many obstacles during this past school year. The pandemic has many families wondering about what the future holds for their child. The materials for this project would allow families not to be worried about school supplies upon their return. This project will provide all students most of what they need for a most successful and engaging school year.

Students will receive supplies such as pencils, folders, dry easer boards and markers that will allow learning without limits and focus on what matters most, which is their education.
