Stuck on Learning - We Need Glue Sticks!

My students need glue sticks and scissors.

My Students

Every child brought a glue stick at the beginning of the year, but we've gone through those. Second graders need glue sticks to make colorful learning projects. We are a very low-income school. Many of our students simply don't have the money in this economy to buy more glue sticks or scissors.

People sometimes have the wrong impression of low-income schools.

Our second graders love to learn. Young children need lots of hands-on learning opportunities. Without glue sticks and scissors, they will miss out on many fun and educational learning experiences.

My Project

Your donation can make the difference in the life of a child. With glue sticks, we can do word sorts, make posters and collages, graphs, stories and poems. Please support public education by helping out. Your help will bring a child's imagination to life while helping them learn all the basics they need for today's world.

Young children don't need worksheets -- they need colorful educational activities that keep them excited about learning.

You can make school a fun and magical place. Thank you for your help.
