My Project

Students are starting their Spring Semester classes! While my students always apply themselves to their highest ability, the noticeable lack of certain supplies does impact their growth. Folders and page tags mean students don't have to waste class time asking around to borrow things. Lotion, chapstick and band-aids ensure that no student is distracted and embarrassed by a need. Fidgets help them focus and truly do their best.

All the supplies on this donation list - snacks, deodorant, paper, highlighters and more - are things I typically pay for out of pocket throughout the school year.

Your support will go far in my ability to give my students the best possible educational experience. For those who do not have what they need to focus on their studies, or even those who simply forget but want to succeed, your donations will make a huge difference. I appreciate your support and I know my students will, too!
