My Project

I love how creative and imaginative my students are—they have so many stories to tell and ideas to share! With basic supplies like pens, pencils, Sharpies, and highlighters, they can truly bring their thoughts to life as young authors and illustrators. These simple tools give them the confidence to write, revise, edit, and add colorful details to their work. When students have access to their own quality supplies, learning feels more personal, meaningful, and exciting. This project will support their growth in writing and creativity while helping them take pride in their work and develop a lifelong love of storytelling.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
