My Project

All of our students thrive on success! We see it every day. Success builds success. However, it is hard to find that success when you are lacking the basic tools to find that very first success.

By providing all 5th grade students the same basic tools, we are providing them the same access to success.

Students will need writing utensils and organizational tools from day one of 5th grade. Having those items ready for them when they walk in the door means we can begin teaching steps to success on day one.

Please help all of our 5th grade students get a jump on success by supplying them with these tools.
