My Students

One of the best things about my district (and school) is its diverse population. Countries and cultures from around the world come together here. While rich in heart and history, many families struggle to provide the best for their children.

I am hoping to add to my students' life and learning experience through quality tools and materials.

With these in hand, I hope to unleash my students' creativity, potential, and passion for growth.

Help me and my students get ready for another amazing year of learning. I want to create a warm and welcoming classroom with all they could possibly need. This is a place where all are safe, welcome, and capable. My students need colored pencils, markers, folders to take materials to and from school, pencils, erasers, privacy boards for focus and testing, and more!

My students are diverse, colorful, and full of life! Help me and them with a donation, big or small, so we can continue the rest of the year and push ourselves towards more learning and success.

My Project

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and abilities. Families in my school often struggle to provide many school essentials such as folders and pencils. I want to gvie my students access to all of this.

Every student deserves an education filled with promise, support, personalization, and comfort.

School is often the safest and most enjoyable place for these kids. I want to show them what's possible and what they deserve. Success is not out of reach, but rather, only limited by their imagination and drive.

I am looking to give my students all the supplies they need to start an incredible school year. This includes: folders, book bags, pencils, headphones, and more. Also materials that we'll use all year long like: colored pencils, markers, bean bags for flexible seating, and more. Necessities such as tissues, soap, and sanitizers will keep us healthy and strong. Engaging books will foster the develop a love of reading. Please help us set up for success!
