My Project

I work at an amazing Urban School. Our school has a very high Free and Reduced-price rate. Due to this, many of my families cannot afford to buy and send in supplies.

Every student should be able to start the school year off with new supplies.

These supplies will be used throughout the school year in all areas of our academics. Specifically, we will be using them a lot at the beginning of the school year as we are building our classroom community. We spend a lot of time getting to know each other and learning about the classroom and school expectations. These supplies will be so helpful in making sure every student has supplies to create beautiful work.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
