My Project

Help us make learning easier and more enjoyable for our 5th grade students by donating supplies! We are seeking donations of pencil sharpers, pens, sharpies, and Mr. Sketch markers. These supplies will be fundamental in providing our students with the tools they need to master their classroom work.

Our goal with this project is to ensure that our students have the necessities to excel both in their current and future academic careers.

Giving them access to high-quality supplies equips them with the necessary skills to stay ahead of the curve. They will be able to complete everyday tasks and art projects.

My students are amazing, talented, and remarkable! It takes a special blend of resilience, courage, determination, and grit to grow as a 5th grader. Every day they strive to build their knowledge and become the leaders of tomorrow. Their commitment to learning and helping others stems from our compassionate teachers, a classroom filled with smiles, and a safe learning environment.

Your donation will create life-long learners eager to expand their views, eager to challenge preconceptions, and eager to share what they have learned. It will give them the opportunity to focus on what truly matters: enriching their minds and preparing for their future. With your generous support, we can make their educational journey more rewarding.
