My Project

My ESL students rely on basic school supplies because these tools directly support their language development and confidence in the classroom. Simple items like folders, pencils, and highlighters allow them to practice writing, organize new vocabulary, and actively engage in lessons.

Many of my students are still adjusting to a new language and environment, so having their own supplies helps them feel prepared and included.

Providing these essentials ensures that every student has an equal opportunity to participate, learn effectively, and build the skills they need to succeed. Without these basic materials, students may struggle to keep up with lessons or fully express their understanding. Ensuring access to supplies removes unnecessary barriers and helps create a more supportive, focused learning environment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
