My Project

It is May and we still have new students joining our classrooms each week. At this point in the school year our classroom supplies and resources are nearing their end.

We are trying to keep up with the growing number of students and the supplies they may need in the classroom for the last quarter of the school year.

This project will help us give students basic supplies they need in the classroom to complete work and become acclimated to the new school culture they are experiencing. Donating to this project will help newcomers during this difficult transition.

Grades 9-12
